Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a rare, but potentially serious, adverse event associated with high cumulative doses of bisphosphonates or denosumab. It is a potentially painful and debilitating condition that can considerably affect the quality of life of patients. However, MRONJ can be treated, and the likelihood of the development of this condition can be reduced through prophylactic dental care and the maintenance of good oral hygiene. Dentists, as part of a multi-professional team, have a critical role in preventing MRONJ. The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) with an emphasis on its clinical presentation and management, indications for referral, risk factors for developing MRONJ, frequency of ONJ. At the end of the presentation, the audience should: 1. Know the working definition of MRONJ; 2. Understand how MRONJ is staged; 3. Identify risk factors for ONJ; 4. Quote risk estimates for developing ONJ and differences in risk between cancer patients and those being treated for osteoporosis; 5. Identify clinical and radiographic features of patients with ONJ; 6. Initial and definitive management of ONJ; 7. Indications for treating or referring patients with ONJ.

Come and hear about what is new and what you can do to support your industry in the year ahead.
