SUMMARY

BETCON is a pragmatic randomized controlled open-label multi-center study in patients with newly diagnosed stage I-II MRONJ designed to answer the question whether minimally invasive management with LPRF membranes or primary surgical treatment is better than the standard of care of conservative therapy alone. The primary end-point is the time to mucosal healing. Secondary end-points consist of supporting measures of efficacy, patient reported symptoms, quality of life, well-being, and functioning.

Treatments
Active_comparator: Conservative treatment
Amoxicillin-based antibiotics and chlorhexidine oral rinse. Minor debridement. Primary wound closure is not part of this treatment strategy.
Experimental: Minimally invasive approach + LPRF
Amoxicillin-based antibiotics and chlorhexidine oral rinse. Minimally-invasive surgical treatment, including sequestrectomy, debridement of soft tissue, and application of LPRF membranes before tension-free wound closure is obtained. Marginal resection of all necrotic bone is not part of this treatment strategy.
Experimental: Primary surgical management
Amoxicillin-based antibiotics and chlorhexidine oral rinse. Removal of the necrotic bone without excessive resection of healthy bone. Buccal mucoperiosteal flaps will be used to achieve a tension-free mucosal coverage.
