Osteonecrosis of jaws after bisphosphonates: an internet resource on the web for dentist.

The purpose of this paper is to enumerate the Internet resources on the web available to the general dentist on bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of jaws. The general dental practitioners have a key role to play in identifying patients at risk of developing bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaws. The problem is likely to become commonplace as the number of patients on bisphosphonate increases. The management of bisphosphonates osteonecrosis of the jaws presents a challenge to dentists as there is no effective treatment for this condition. The Internet may be a good vehicle where information can be shared and advisory disseminated.
