Welcome to our Resident Series, where we’ll be discussing relevant topics and updates from the leaders in our field. Today, Drs. Grant and Jake Stucki delve into the recent AAOMS Position Paper on Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ), published in May 2022. We’ve discussed MRONJ in previous episodes, but today we’re taking a closer look at the changes observed by the leaders of our specialty. In this episode, we cover all the bases of what MRONJ is, what causes it, its risks, and the various treatment options. We discuss the medications associated with causing MRONJ, and what constitutes a high-risk candidate for developing the condition. We break down the three critical diagnostic criteria and the four stages of MRONJ and explain why it’s crucial to know these back to front. Tune in to find out the degrees of risk when it comes to extraction and implants, and how to reduce the risk of MRONJ before, during, and after oral surgery. And be sure to join us for the next installment of the Resident Series!
