Summary: | To systematically assess the literature related to the occurrence of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) using bisphosphonates (BP) in the treatment of osteoporosis (OP).
We conducted a systematic literature search in PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials up to July 2010, including terms relating to OP, ONJ, and BP (MeSH and free text). We selected meta-analysis, systematic reviews (SRs) and clinical trials (CTs), English or Spanish, including patients >18 years of both sexes with OP treated with BP (intravenous and oral). Furthermore, studies should evaluate the occurrence of ONJ during treatment with BP. We excluded studies that included patients with cancer or diseases other than OP, animal studies and basic science. The selection of articles both by title and 2 independent reviewers conducted a detailed review of the abstracts. We used the modified Oxford Scale (version 2001) to assess the quality of the included studies.
We identified 1422 articles of which we included 18 (8 SRs, 8 CT and 2 meta-analysis). Most studies were of good quality and examined the use of BP in middle-aged women with OP. Frequency of ONJ was low.
We found insufficient evidence to affirm that intravenous or oral BP used exclusively for the treatment of OP lead to a significant risk of ONJ (evidence level 2a, grade B recommendation).
Evaluar sistemáticamente la literatura en relación con la aparición de osteonecrosis de mandíbula (ONM) con el uso de bisfosfonatos (BF) en el tratamiento de la osteoporosis (OP).
Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de la literatura en Pubmed, EMBASE y la Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials hasta julio de 2010 incluyendo términos relativos a OP, ONM, y BF (mesh y texto libre). Se seleccionaron metaanálisis, revisiones sistemáticas y ensayos clínicos (EC), en inglés o español, que incluían pacientes > 18 años de ambos sexos con OP en tratamiento con BF (por vías intravenosa y oral). Además, los estudios debían evaluar la aparición de ONM durante el tratamiento con BF. Se excluyeron los estudios que incluían pacientes con cáncer u otra enfermedad distinta de la OP, estudios en animales y ciencia básica. La selección de los artículos, tanto por título y abstract como la revisión en detalle, la realizaron 2 revisores de forma independiente. Se utilizó la escala de Oxford modificada (versión del 2001) para evaluar la calidad de los estudios incluidos.
Se identificaron 1.422 artículos, de los que se incluyeron 18 (8 r |
