What Researchers Did
Researchers presented three individual patient cases to show different outcomes and complications for people with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ).
What They Found
The case reports showed that dental imaging is helpful for finding and managing BRONJ. They also confirmed many reports about the high level of complications linked to various BRONJ treatments. The study highlighted the risk of performing invasive dental procedures for patients who are taking bisphosphonate medications.
Canadian Relevance
No direct Canadian connection identified.
Study Limitations
As a case report, this study only looked at three patients, so its findings may not apply to all individuals with BRONJ.
