The Prevention of Medication-related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw.

CONCLUSION: Before antiresorptive medication is begun, oral hygiene should be improved. Moreover, it seems that perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis and adequate plastic wound closure can often prevent MRONJ. In view of the fact that bisphosphonates can persist in bone for more than 15 years, patients should be thoroughly informed of the risk that antiresorptive treatment can cause MRONJ, and the measures discussed should be initiated.
