[Dental Implant Treatment in Patients Receiving Anti-resorptive Agents.]
Clinical Calcium 2017
Dental implant treatment is one of the most reliable therapeutic options for replacing missing teeth. In 2003, it was demonstrated that osteonecrosis of the jaw(ONJ)occurred in patients taking bisphosphonates(BRONJ). Recently, ONJ has also been demonstrated to occur in patients taking anti-receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand antibody(denosumab:DRONJ). However, the precise mechanisms of ONJ remain unclear and definitive treatment strategies for ONJ have not been developed. There has been little information regarding the relationship between ONJ and dental implant treatment. However, a recent systematic review indicated that dental implant treatment is a triggering factor for BRONJ. The aim of this study was to provide the most current information on dental implant treatment in patients receiving anti-resorptive agents. A literature search has suggested that implant treatment becomes a risk factor for BRONJ around dental implants. Implantitis may also be a risk factor for BRONJ around dental implants. No available information regarding DRONJ around dental implants was noted. Hence, caution should be exercised when dental implant treatment is carried out in the patients taking anti-resorptive agents such as bisphosphonates and denosumab.
