Abstract: PURPOSE: To propose a new clinical staging method that can be performed to guide the diagnosis and treatment of MRONJ through a retrospective study of patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). METHODS: The clinical data of 74 MRONJ patients admitted to Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital between 2008 and 2018 were enrolled. A novel staging method and corresponding treatments were proposed on the basis of anatomic structures (inferior alveolar canal and floor of maxillary sinus) and boundary of bone lesions. RESULTS: A new staging system with four different stages (stage 0: 7 cases; stageⅠa: 18 cases; stageⅠb: 14 cases; stage Ⅱa: 12 cases; stage Ⅱb: 15 cases; and stage Ⅲ: 8 cases) was proposed. Outcome of these samples demonstrated that only 12 cases hold progressed state. CONCLUSIONS: This new staging system is suitable for clinical diagnosis and therapeutic selection for MRONJ.
