Three patients in the daily group did not complete the study, resulting in six patients in the daily group, nine in the weekly group, and nine in the non-TPTD group in the final analysis.
We enrolled 27 patients (January 2012 - December 2016) with chronic and refractory MRONJ.
Nine patients who did not select TPTD therapy for several reasons formed the non-TPTD group; the remaining 18 were randomly assigned to the daily (n=9) or weekly (n=9) groups.
All patients in both groups continued standard conservative therapy in addition to their daily or weekly subcutaneous injection of TPTD (20 μg or 56.5 μg, respectively).
