How Can ONJ be Prevented in Gynecological Patients?
Preventing ONJ involves a multidisciplinary approach:
1. Dental Evaluation: Before starting bisphosphonates or denosumab, a thorough dental examination should be performed. 2. Good Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are crucial. 3. Avoid Invasive Dental Procedures: If possible, avoid invasive dental procedures during and after treatment with bisphosphonates or denosumab. 4. Communication Between Specialists: Gynecologists should collaborate with dentists and oncologists to manage the patient’s overall health and treatment plan.
