Oral health conditions in patients under antiresorptive therapy are comparable to unexposed during supportive periodontal care

ConclusionsPatients under ART in SPC demonstrated similar clinical periodontal and dental status but lower OHRQoL compared to unexposed (not statistically significant). Patient awareness of the MRONJ-risk and appropriate preventive measures should be ensured.Clinical relevanceSPC in osteoporotic patients under ART appeared safe regarding MRONJ, but further investigations on the MRONJ-risk in patients with different risk-profiles are necessary.Study registration: clinicaltrials.gov (#NCT04192188).
