Summary

Background/Aim: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) was first introduced in 2003 and its scope was expanded by the name medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), since 2014. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of photodynamic therapy (FDT) on tissue samples by histopathological and histomorphometric examination and serum TRACP-5b (Tartrateresistant acid phosphatase-5b) measurement in rats. Material and Methods: 24 Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into 3 groups comprising 8 animals. Zoledronic acid was administered to groups 1 and 2 and 0.9% sodium chloride was administered to group 3 intraperitoneally. After the injections were completed, dental extractions were performed. Photodynamic therapy was applied to group 2, three times a week for the two weeks after the extraction. In the 16th week, sacrification was performed. Rats were undergone histopathologic and histomorphometric evaluations. Results: Photodynamic therapy has led to a decrease in epithelial opening and inflammation and an increase in the formation of new bone. Serum TRACP-5b values were shown to decrease significantly in the presence of osteonecrosis. Conclusions: PDT was shown to be useful in reducing MRONJ risk in rats. As a serum biomarker, Serum TRACP-5b could be a valuable marker. Additional studies should confirm the findings.
