Okawa et al. evaluate a fluorescent risedronate analogue, 800CW-pRIS, as a potential treatment for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. The authors demonstrate an improvement in wound healing and inflammation with 800CW-pRIS pre-treatment in a mouse model of bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis following tooth extraction.
