  • Title: Dental management of patients with a history of bisphosphonate therapy: clinical dilemma.
    Author: Migliorati CA, Hsu CJ, Chopra S, Kaltman SS.
    Journal: J Calif Dent Assoc; 2008 Oct; 36(10):769-74. PubMed ID: 19044097.
    Abstract:
    Bisphosphonate osteonecrosis, BON, was recently described in the literature. Lack of scientific evidence explaining the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in the development of this oral complication has generated uncertainties about proper management of patients treated with a bisphosphonate. This manuscript discusses the dental management of two breast cancer patients treated with intravenous bisphosphonates as part of their cancer management and who developed oral disease. Clinical management decisions will be presented as well as the treatment outcomes.
