Synopsis:
Bone health and maintenance of bone integrity are important concerns during comprehensive cancer care and management of osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates and denosumab are antiresorptive medications widely used for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and skeletal complications associated with metastatic cancer and multiple myeloma. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) related to antiresorptive therapy is a condition that has created numerous dilemmas in patient management and may have a broad health impact. Minimizing the risk of MRONJ is critical, not only to prevent MRONJ but also to maximize the benefit of antiresorptive therapy. This case-based presentation will review evidence-based data that has led to paradigm shifts for pathogenesis and innovative strategies for risk assessment, prevention and management of MRONJ.
Upon successful completion of this lecture, attendees will learn:
- Strategies for diagnosis of MRONJ related to clinical presentation, imaging and differential diagnosis.
- Risk assessment and prevention related to dental treatment: What works and what doesn’t.
- Recent advances in pathogenesis: What we know today and how this may impact clinical decisions.
- Strategies for improving oral health and function via dentoalveolar surgery, restorative dentistry and implant surgery.
- Management options for patients with MRONJ.
