Abstract:

Osteoporosis (OP) and oral diseases are common health problems of the elderly. Recently, the risk of jaw necrosis with anti-OP medication has been increasingly concerned by relevant specialists. In order to avoid or reduce the incidence of medication-related jaw necrosis before and during OP treatment, it is necessary to properly deal with the relationship between oral invasive procedures and anti-OP treatment. It is conducted by the Osteoporosis and Bone Mineral Salt Disease Branch of Tianjin Medical Association and Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of Tianjin Stomatological Association. After full exchange and communication between doctors engaged in OP treatment and stomatological doctors, clinical consensus are reached on the basis of evidence-based medicine. It is clear that OP and OP medication-related necrosis of jaw are both diseases with serious adverse consequences, and standard OP treatment can reduce fractures and improve the quality of life of elderly. During the treatment period, appropriate measures should be taken to avoid the occurrence of OP medication-related jaw necrosis. Through the joint efforts of doctors from the two disciplines, we hope to solve clinical problems that affect oral operation due to the use of OP therapeutic drugs, and promote and protect the bone health and dental health of elderly.
