Medication Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw – A Hidden Enemy
Drug-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a serious complication associated with prolonged use of antiresorptive (e.g., bisphosphonates and denosumab) and antiangiogenic drugs (e.g., bevacizumab and sunitinib) in patients with osteoporosis or cancer. With this situation, a progressive infection of the maxillary or mandibular bone and later an avascular necrosis of the bone occurs. The incidence of ONJ is higher in people with cancer who are frequently received high doses of antiresorptive drugs intravenously. Risk factors associated with antiresorptive or antiangiogenic therapy have been identified to possibly contributing to the onset of ONJ.
Learning objectives
- Medical doctor-dentist communication before starting antiresorptive treatments
- Due to the growing treatments with these drugs, it is important to alert dentists to perform a thorough oral and radiographic review in order to identify the risk factors that can trigger ONJ
- Know the medications that can cause osteonecrosis of the jaw
For a Reliable Implantology
Dental implant placement requires precise planning with regard to anatomic limitations and restorative goals.They offer many advantages over tooth replacement options such as dentures or bridges, which include improved function, durability, and esthetics. Extreme atrophy of the edentulous maxilla is a common problem that requires augmentation surgery for achieving a sufficient alveolar bone volume allowing for dental implant placement Lateral sinus membrane elevation for the posterior maxilla is a reliable procedure for augmentation of the maxilla with autogenous, xenogenous or other bone replacement material. The purpose of this presentation is to teach the audience a Safe, Predictable, Easy, Natural, Simple and Evidence-Based implantology.
Learning objectives
- Know the anatomy and oral and systemic considerations of the patient
- Accuracy and precision in planning dental implants (Guided Surgery) and their final rehabilitation
- Know the different surgical techniques before implant placement , and adjunct techniques when placing the implant(s)
- Know the immediate loading beneflts: Helps prevent further bone loss , Restores oral functionality, both in terms of chewing and speaking , Minimal recovery time, ordinarily with very little discomfort or pain
