Abstract:
There has been a lot of focus on osteonecrosis of the jaws associated with the usage of bisphosphonates both in dental and medical literature in recent years. However, the exact pathogenesis of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws remains unclear. Against the background of emerging evidence of an evolving condition, it is not surprising that there is a lack of robust evidence-based recommendations on dental treatment of patients on bisphosphonates. This paper seeks to provide a rational approach to the dental management of patients on bisphosphonates based on current literature.
