Osteonecrosis of the Jaws: The Awareness of the Patient at Risk
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Individuals under anti-angiogenic or antiresorptive bone medications are in risk to develop medication related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ). The most common trigger event that can lead to MRONJ is bone manipulation, such as dental extraction. Thus, a proposed consent form to be use by clinicians attending individuals at risk of development of MRONJ is proposed. Three clinicians with experience in dental treatment of individuals exposed to anti-angiogenic or antiresorptive-reabsortive bone medications developed a consent form based on technical and scientific content. A clear and simple text was elaborated for patient’s knowledge and consent registration. Clinicians should always inform patients about the condition and the risks of the procedures during dental treatment, and those individuals in risk to develop MRONJ should sign a consent form, before invasive procedures are performed. Infectious or inflammatory odontogenic diseases also represent risks of MRONJ [3]. Consequently, in case of any invasive dental treatment for treatment of dental infection, the patient needs to be aware of the risks and to participate in the decision of the treatment, by signing a written consent form. A clear and simple written text is recommended for the registration of the informed consent, as suggested below. “I,..., patient of the health service..., registration number..., have been taking or have already taken at least one of the drugs
