Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is an important side-effect of bisphosphonates. The condition has high morbidity and its treatment is difficult, where many therapies have been tried including antibiotics, surgical interventions, and also some alternative therapies such as low-level laser therapy, platelet-rich plasma and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Nevertheless, there is no consensus about the effectiveness of HBOT in BRONJ. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of HBOT on tooth extraction site in rats treated with bisphosphonate. Thirty-five Wistar rats were treated with zoledronic acid, subjected to tooth extractions and allocated into groups according to HBOT regimen: (1) 7 days of HBOT; (2) 14 days of HBOT; (3) without HBOT (7-day control); (4) without HBOT (14-day control). The site of tooth extractions was analyzed by histomorphometry and immunohistochemistry. Bone exposure volume did not significantly differ between pre- and post-HBOT or between test groups and controls.At 7 days, the HBOT group showed amounts of epithelium and root fragment that were significantly less than the control. At 14 days, non-vital bone was significantly less in the HBOT group than in the control. HBOT groups compared to each other showed higher amounts of non-vital bone and less root fragment at 7 days. The HBOT group showed at 7 days lower expression of VEGF, RANKL, BMP-2 and OPG compared to the control, whereas at 14 days, there was no significant difference. Comparing HBOT groups at 7 and 14 days to each other, VEGF and OPG showed significantly higher expression at 14 days, whereas RANKL and BMP-2 did not show any significance.Conclusion: HBOT can reduce the amounts of non-vital bone microscopically detected in tooth extraction sites of rats subjected to bisphosphonate therapy. The effect seems to occur in a dose-dependent mode. Further studies are required to clarify the mechanisms accounting for this effect.
