What Researchers Did
Researchers reported on three older patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) who received a combination of conventional treatment and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy.
What They Found
All three older patients with MRONJ who received combined conventional and hyperbaric oxygen therapy showed successful management. This approach allowed them to avoid extensive surgical treatment, which can impose significant physiological and psychological burdens.
