Knowledge and Awareness of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Among Dental Practitioners in Mumbai: A Questionnaire-Based Survey

Although practitioners were familiar with the term MRONJ, their knowledge of the drugs affecting the disease, as well as its clinical and radiographic presentations, was inadequate. Awareness of treatment strategies and recent advances was particularly lacking among general dentists and other specialists apart from oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS). Practitioners also identified a lack of an interdisciplinary approach. There is a clear need for enhanced education and awareness on this subject, which can be achieved by conducting interdisciplinary surveys, conferences, and seminars.

Abstract

Although practitioners were familiar with the term MRONJ, their knowledge of the drugs affecting the disease, as well as its clinical and radiographic presentations, was inadequate. Awareness of treatment strategies and recent advances was particularly lacking among general dentists and other specialists apart from oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS). Practitioners also identified a lack of an interdisciplinary approach. There is a clear need for enhanced education and awareness on this subject, which can be achieved by conducting interdisciplinary surveys, conferences, and seminars.
