Thank for your reply. Unfortunately, mine is a clear case of ONJ Drug Induced. I am praying for a miracle that it stops and don't continue to spread, as the Oral Surgeon didn't give me too much hope.
@LaIA,
When it comes to treatment options for Osteonecrosis, rheumatology.org states that most patients who develop this condition are often treated with "rinses, antibiotics, and oral pain relievers"; which according to them, can reportedly help resolve a case of Osteonecrosis within months.
However from what I've read, apparently it is also difficult to diagnose which risk factors could've caused this condition to begin with, since Osteonecrosis itself is said to be diagnosed only by the presence of an exposed bone, lasting several weeks. But if you can determine what may have caused it to develop overtime, I imagine that it would probably make future preventative measures much easier to follow so it doesn't ever happen again.
I hope this helps and wish you a quick recovery!
