BISPHOSPHONATES: EVALUATION OF THE DENTISTRY KNOWLEDGE
Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BFs) are drugs used widely in medicine, especially in the areas of cancer treatment and osteoporosis and other bone diseases. They act by inhibiting osteoclastic activity, thus altering all bone remodeling; these accumulate in the bone and can cause necrosis. Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis lesions of the jaws are usually preceded by dental treatment, so it is a fundamental role of the dental surgeon (DC) to diagnose and treat these pathologies, and especially to prevent them. In this way, negligence within an anamnesis in relation to this medication should be avoided, thus reducing the risks of major mutilations and loss of quality of life for the patient. This study aims to evaluate the level of knowledge of dentists regarding bisphosphonates.
