Abstract

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a rare and challenging complication of anti-resorptive therapy. This review addresses the critical issue of risk management in patients with osteoporosis who require dentoalveolar surgery while undergoing anti-resorptive therapy. Dental practitioners should be aware of these risks; however, they should not refuse treatment based solely on them. This review discusses the risks through five major factors: invasive dentoalveolar surgeries, concomitant oral infection, type of medication, duration of medication, and preoperative drug discontinuation. Additionally, we discussed the local factors associated with dental practices. Our review underscored the importance of personalized risk assessment, considering each patient's unique drug history and oral condition. Based on a comprehensive literature review and clinical evidence, we proposed specific guidelines for preoperative drug interruption tailored to different anti-resorptive agents. These recommendations aimed to balance osteoporosis management by minimizing the risk of MRONJ during oral surgical interventions and bridging the knowledge gap in managing patients with osteoporosis requiring dental care. This review will allow clinicians to improve their practice and optimize patient outcomes by providing evidence-based strategies.

期刊介绍： he Journal of Dental Sciences (JDS), published quarterly, is the official and open access publication of the Association for Dental Sciences of the Republic of China (ADS-ROC). The precedent journal of the JDS is the Chinese Dental Journal (CDJ) which had already been covered by MEDLINE in 1988. As the CDJ continued to prove its importance in the region, the ADS-ROC decided to move to the international community by publishing an English journal. Hence, the birth of the JDS in 2006. The JDS is indexed in the SCI Expanded since 2008. It is also indexed in Scopus, and EMCare, ScienceDirect, SIIC Data Bases. The topics covered by the JDS include all fields of basic and clinical dentistry. Some manuscripts focusing on the study of certain endemic diseases such as dental caries and periodontal diseases in particular regions of any country as well as oral pre-cancers, oral cancers, and oral submucous fibrosis related to betel nut chewing habit are also considered for publication. Besides, the JDS also publishes articles about the efficacy of a new treatment modality on oral verrucous hyperplasia or early oral squamous cell carcinoma.
