Bisphosphonates Bisphosphonates are bone-building drugs that prevent bone resorption and remain important treatment options for patients at risk of debilitating fractures. But, where does the impact on dental health figure into the equation? What is the true incidence of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ)? Source: Bamias A. Osteonecrosis of the jaw in cancer after treatment with bisphosphonates: incidence and risk factors. J Clin Oncol 2005;23(34):8580-7. Approximately 125 cases of osteonecrosis have been linked to bisphosphonate usage. The majority of these cases have been administered through an IV to cancer patients The Facts A man with a hip fracture has a 1:3 chance of dying within a year A woman with a hip fracture has a 1:4 chance of dying within a year The risk for ONJ among patients taking oral bisphosphonates is likely to be 1:100,000 Bisphosphonates Bisphosphonate Associated Fracture May occur with long term bisphosphonate use Relatively rare occurrence compared to fragility fractures Risk/benefit analysis still favors bisphosphonate use Source: Bisphosphonate use and the risk of subtrochanteric or femoral shaft fractures in older women.
