  Evaluation Summary:

  The manuscript shows that bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, a rare complication of osteoporosis treatment, was prevented in mice using a novel treatment which works by reversing the associated oral inflammation. The work in this manuscript has the potential to be impactful if limitations are addressed. It will be of interest to investigators in the bone and dental fields who conduct pre-clinical research.
