Course Content:
This course will concentrate on medication-related osteonecrosis and the implications for the oral health care practitioner. Currently, the position papers of the ADA and AAOMS disagree on the use of drug holidays, creating significant confusion and potential legal liability for the dental practitioner. Included in the discussion will be a description of the various medications associated with osteonecrosis, the indications for utilization of these medications, the typical patterns of administration, and the potential adverse effects on the gnathic regions. The standard of care of patients utilizing these medications will be
described for the discipline of dentistry. This discussion will include a pattern of practice that agrees with both position papers along with the rationale for its use.
