Article Synopsis
- A 2015 survey showed poor cooperation between physicians and dentists regarding medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) and revealed that stopping antiresorptive medication before tooth extraction didn’t prevent MRONJ but increased risks.
- A 2022 follow-up survey involved 1227 responses, finding that a significant majority of physicians complied with dentists' requests to discontinue medications, yet there were still adverse events reported.
- The study indicated improved cooperation between physicians and dentists since 2015, but highlighted the need for more consistent collaboration across different regions in Japan to effectively manage MRONJ, noting that discontinuation of antiresorptive agents may not be needed due to rising fracture rates.
