17 Strategies for management of patients with, or at risk for, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws 73
18 (MRONJ) – formerly referred to as bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ)—were set 74
19 forth in the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) position papers in 2007, 75
20 Q9 2009 and 2014. The position papers were developed by a committee appointed by the AAOMS Board 76
21 of Trustees and comprising clinicians with extensive experience in caring for these patients, as well as clin- 77
22 ical and basic science researchers. The knowledge base and experience in addressing MRONJ continues to 78
23 evolve and expand, necessitating modifications and refinements to the previous position papers. Three 79
24 members of the AAOMS Committee on Oral, Head, and Neck Oncologic and Reconstructive Surgery (COH- 80
25 NORS) and three authors of the 2014 position paper were appointed to serve as a working group to analyze 81
26 the current literature and revise the guidance as indicated to reflect current knowledge in this field. This 82
27 update contains revisions to diagnosis and management strategies and highlights the current research sta- 83
28 tus. AAOMS maintains that it is vitally important for this information to be disseminated to other relevant 84
