Synopsis

Osteonecrosis of the jaw remains a complex topic that can be challenging for the treating dentist. As cance rs rates rise in adults under fifty\, the prevalence of antiresorptive bon e therapy and radiation therapy to the head and neck region are becoming c ommonplace within the general patient population. Both of these therapies significantly impact the provision of dental care and patient management. The dental team plays an integral role in preventing osteonecrosis for the se high-risk patients. Clinicians are hesitant to treat these patients in private practice and often refer them to hospital-based programs. This pre sentation will describe how the dental team can confidently and effectivel y manage these patients in their office\, and ultimately how the dentist i s an integral part of their medical care.
