Double-layer closure techniques after bone surgery of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw – a single center cohort study

Mucosal wound closure plays a key role after surgery of manifested medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Additional soft tissue layers promise better vascularization and mechanical stability. The objectives of this study were to examine success rates of double-layer closure techniques in MRONJ patients, namely the mylohyoideus muscle flap (MMF) for the lower jaw and the pedicled buccal fat flap (BFF) for the upper jaw.
