About this trial

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) occurs after taking bisphosphonates or targeted therapies. It leads to a significant decrease in quality of life with pain, eating and chewing disorders, and malnutrition. Current treatments are only partially effective. PENTO (pentoxifylline and tocopherol) has been shown to be effective in maxillary osteoradionecrosis. The objective of this study is to evaluate the proportion of bone recovery in patients receiving PENTO in MRONJ at 12 months.
