  1. FC, fold change; CON, control; CI, confidence interval.
  2. *Differentially abundant miRNAs were determined using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, with correction for multiple testing performed using the Benjamini–Hochberg (BH) method. Statistical significance was determined as a p-value < 0.05.
  3. The FC value of each gene represents how many times the mean expression level in the MRONJ group is compared to the mean expression level in the control group. The 95% CIs of FC values were calculated. Only genes with a fold change (FC) of ≥ 2 were selected as targets for the subsequent experiments.
