Abstract
Purpose One of the key strategies for effective management of osteoporosis is training health care professionals on early diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis according to a structured course. The aim was to investigate the e-learning courses on osteoporosis around the world in order to develop an online course on osteoporosis management for general practitioners (GPs). Methods In this review, the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Embase, and ERIC databases and the Google search engine were searched until March, 2021.Then, the contents of the eligible courses were extracted by two researchers independently and verified. After that, the content for an online course for GPs was developed and approved by a panel of experts constituted of endocrinologists, orthopedists, and other specialties involved in the management of osteoporosis to develop the final online course for GPs. Results In this review, 22 e-learning courses provided through 3 studies, and 19 websites were included. The content of the osteoporosis e-learning course was categorized into ten thematic categories including bone health, osteoporosis definitions and pathophysiology, prevention of osteoporosis, diagnosis of osteoporosis, fractures, non-pharmacological treatments, pharmacological treatments, treatment follow-up, postmenopausal considerations and hands-on work. The final modules for the osteoporosis e-learning contained five main categories, including bone measurement and fracture risk assessment, diagnosis of osteoporosis, clinical management, monitoring and follow-up, and sarcopenia. Conclusion Through a systematic approach, we developed modules for e-learning of osteoporosis management, which can be used to improve knowledge and skills of GPs in their practice in our setting.

Oral Dis 2024; 30:1632-1642. [PMID: 36620873 DOI: 10.1111/odi.14496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify local radiographic risk factors for Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (MRONJ) in osteoporotic patients treated with antiresorptive drugs (ARD) and undergoing tooth extraction. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients were included in this retrospective, longitudinal, case-control study, if having at least one administration of ARD, underwent tooth extraction(s), and had pre- and post-operative panoramic radiographs. Additionally, a matched control group was selected. Three calibrated, blinded, and independent observers assessed each tooth extraction site. Statistical analysis compared control against study group, and within the latter, sites MRONJ+ and MRONJ-. RESULTS In total, 120 patients (99 females/21 males) with 354 tooth extractions were included, from which nine patients (7.5%) and eleven tooth extraction sites (3.1%) developed MRONJ. When comparing control with study group, the latter showed significantly more thickened lamina dura, persistence of the alveolar socket, heterogeneous bone patterns, and sequestrum formation. In the study group, MRONJ developed significantly more in males (19%, p = 0.049), smokers (25%, p = 0.008), in the mandible (82%, p = 0.027), when identifying a radiolucent or sclerotic trabecular pattern (p = 0.004) or when extracting teeth with furcation involvement (p < 0.001), root remnants (p = 0.017), or unrestored caries lesions (p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Tooth extraction sites showing radiographic signs of chronic dental infection are prone to MRONJ.

Incidence and trend of antiresorptive agent-related osteonecrosis of the jaw from 2016 to 2020 in Kure, Japan. Osteoporos Int 2023; 34:1101-1109. [PMID: 37002373 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-06732-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
We investigated the incidence/trend of osteonecrosis of the jaw by antiresorptive agent dose over a 5-year period in Kure city, Japan. The incidence was 24 times higher among osteoporosis patients with low-dose agents and 421 times higher among cancer patients with high-dose agents than in the population without agents. PURPOSE We launched the registry system of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) cases in 2015 to investigate the trend in ONJ incidence. The purpose of our study was to estimate the ONJ incidence among patients with antiresorptive agent use by dosage and people without antiresorptive agent use in Kure and its trend from 2016 to 2020. METHODS From 2016 to 2021, 98 eligible ONJ patients were enrolled. Medication-related ONJ (MRONJ) was diagnosed based on the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons criteria. The annual number of those with and without antiresorptive agents was obtained from the claims database. Antiresorptive agents used for cancer and osteoporosis patients were defined as high- and low-dose medications, respectively. RESULTS The annual incidence of high-dose MRONJ was 2305.8 per 100,000 and that of low-dose MRONJ was 132.5 per 100,000, while the ONJ incidence among people without antiresorptive agents was 5.1 per 100,000. The incidence ratio was 23.6 (p < 0.001, 95% confidence interval (CI) 13.3-41.8) among osteoporosis patients who used low-dose antiresorptive agents and 420.6 (p < 0.001, 95% CI 220.8-801.4) among cancer patients who used high-dose agents compared with people who did not use these agents. MRONJ incidence increased from 2016 to 2020, but the incidence of high-dose MRONJ decreased, although this was nonsignificant. CONCLUSION We demonstrated the incidence and trend of ONJ by antiresorptive agent dose over a 5-year period in Kure after launching the multiprofession study. This collaborative study for the early detection and prevention of ONJ will continue.

J Orthop Translat 2023; 39:55-62. [PMID: 36721766 PMCID: PMC9860383 DOI: 10.1016/j.jot.2022.12.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe complication associated with antiresorptive medications managing osteoporosis, such as bisphosphonates (BPs). To date, there is very limited evidence from prospective, controlled studies to support or refute the controversial prevention regimen that if a discontinuation of BPs before dentoalveolar surgery, so called "drug holiday", is effective in reducing the risk of MRONJ development in patients with osteoporosis. We proposed an experimental animal study, aiming to investigate the prevention of MRONJ following tooth extractions in osteoporotic condition, with the implementation of a BP drug holiday. Methods Twenty rats were subjected to bilateral ovariectomy. After establishing the osteoporotic condition, all rats were exposed to weekly injections of zoledronate acid (ZA) for 8 weeks. After ZA treatment, 10 rats were subjected to dental extraction and defined as control group, and the rest 10 rats assigned to the DH group had a drug holiday of 8 weeks prior to dental extraction. Eight weeks after the dentoalveolar surgery, bone turnover biomarker in serum, occurrence of MRONJ-like lesion and histomorphometric assessment of osteonecrosis in mandible, and bone microarchitecture indices in femur, were examined. Results Eight weeks after dental extraction, the DH group showed a recovered osteoclastic activity, indicated by significantly increased number of osteoclasts in the mandibles and serum level of C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen, as compared to the control group. No significant differences were observed in the gross-view and histological occurrences of MRONJ-like lesions between the two groups.There was no significant difference in bone microarchitecture in the femur between the control and DH groups before ZA therapy and 8 weeks after dental extraction. Conclusion Our data provided the first experimental evidence in the osteoporotic animal model that the implementation of a BP holiday in prior to dental extractions could partially recover osteoclastic activity, but could not alleviate the development of MRONJ-like lesion or exacerbate the osteoporotic condition in the femur. Longer-term drug holiday, or combination of drug holiday and other prophylaxes to prevent MRONJ in patients with osteoporosis could be worth exploring in future studies, to pave the way for clinical managements. The translational potential of this article This in vivo prospective study reported that a recovery of osteoclastic activity by a BP drug holiday for 8 weeks in osteoporosis rats did not alleviate the development of MRONJ-like lesion followed by dental extractions. It contributes to the understanding of regimens to prevent MRONJ.

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw after tooth extraction in patients receiving pharmaceutical treatment for osteoporosis: A retrospective cohort study. J Dent Sci 2022; 17:1619-1625. [PMID: 36299343 PMCID: PMC9588785 DOI: 10.1016/j.jds.2022.03.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Revised: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background/purpose Bone resorption inhibitors, such as bisphosphonates (BPs) and anti-receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand antibodies (denosumab; Dmab), are used to treat osteoporosis and effectively reduce the risk of fracture. However, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) has been reported as a rare adverse effect. Invasive tooth extraction procedures are reportedly a factor in the development of MRONJ. In this study, we aimed to retrospectively observe and clinically examine the effect of medication status on MRONJ development after tooth extraction in patients receiving drug treatment for osteoporosis. Materials and methods This study was conducted among patients who visited our hospital between December 2015 and December 2021. We collected and analyzed the medical information of patients who underwent dental extractions while using osteoporosis medications, including oral and injectable BPs and Dmab. Results Among antiresorptive medication users, 40 patients (70 teeth) underwent extraction. The mean duration of BP/Dmab use was 40.4 months, and the mean duration of drug holiday was 6.9 months. MRONJ after tooth extraction was not seen in BP users, but we observed two cases in Dmab users. A significant difference in MRONJ development was confirmed with the use of injectable compared with oral medication administration (odds ratio=5.01). Conclusion The use of injectable bone resorption inhibitors was associated with a higher risk of developing MRONJ. The route of administration, duration of medication, and withdrawal period should be carefully considered to prevent MRONJ after tooth extraction.

Abstract
Antiresorptives are the most widely prescribed drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis. They are also used in malignant bone metastases, multiple myeloma, and Paget's disease, and provide therapeutic efficacy on those diseases. However, it was reported that the occurrence of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) could be related to antiresorptive exposures, and there have been many cases regarding this issue. Therefore, a clearer definition and treatment guidelines were needed for this disease. The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research and the Amnerican Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons reported statements on bisphosphonate-related ONJ (BRONJ), and a revised version was recently presented. In the revised edition, the diagnosis BRONJ was changed to medication-related ONJ (MRONJ), which reflects consideration of the fact that ONJ also occurs for denosumab, a bone resorption inhibitor of the receptor activator of the nuclear factor-κB ligand antibody family, and bevacizumab, an anti-angiogenesis inhibitor. The Korean Society for Bone and Mineral Research and the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons had collectively formed a task force for the preparation of an official statement on MRONJ based on a previous position paper in 2015. The task force reviewed current knowledge and coordinated dental and medical opinions to propose the guideline customized for the local Korean situation.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (Plasma cell myeloma), a malignancy of the plasma cells, exhibits tumor expansion preferentially in the bone marrow and the development of bone-destructive lesions. Multiple myeloma is still an incurable disease with changes in the bone marrow microenvironment in favor of the survival and proliferation of multiple myeloma cells and bone destruction. In this review, we described the recent findings on the regulators involved in the development of myeloma bone diseases, and succinctly summarize currently available therapeutic options and the development of novel bone modifying agents for myeloma treatment.

Abstract
AIM Prevention of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients with osteoporosis requires the cooperation of physicians and dentists. We investigated the knowledge, experience, and behaviour related to medical and dental cooperation for MRONJ prevention in patients with osteoporosis between physicians and dentists practising in the Shiga prefecture. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate the cooperation between practising physicians and dentists for preventing osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in patients with osteoporosis using 2 separate questionnaires from July 28, 2018, to February 3, 2019. RESULTS Of 461 dentists who were sent the questionnaires at their dental clinics, 307 (67%) responded via fax. Of 846 physicians who were sent the questionnaire at their clinics, 378 (45%) responded via fax. Of these, 268 (32%) were finally analysed because 110 (13%) physicians had never treated patients with osteoporosis; 50% dentists and 24% physicians were familiar with the MRONJ position paper in Japan, and 39% dentists and 9% physicians had encountered MRONJ in their clinical practice. A total of 30% physicians had requested oral health care by a dentist before administering bone-modifying agents (BMA) therapy. The knowledge and experience of MRONJ differed between physicians and dentists. CONCLUSION The behaviour of physicians and dentists was insufficient to enable medical and dental cooperation for the prevention of MRONJ in patients with osteoporosis. The lack of cooperation between physicians and dentists during osteoporosis treatment in the Shiga prefecture in Japan is documented in this study.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of glucose metabolism on bone healing after tooth extraction in an osteoporosis rat model administered zoledronic acid (ZA) and dexamethasone (DX). METHODS In total, 24 male Wistar rats (4 weeks old) were randomly assigned to four groups: Control (subcutaneous physiological saline), ZD (subcutaneous ZA and DX twice a week), Ins+ZD (subcutaneous insulin followed by ZD treatment), and Met+ZD (oral metformin followed by ZD treatment). Blood was collected every two weeks . Two weeks after treatment initiation, the first molar tooth on the right maxilla was extracted from all rats. Four weeks later, the rats were sacrificed, and bone healing was assessed. Maxillae samples were fixed and scanned using micro-computed tomography for quantifying areas of bone defects. Hematoxylin-eosin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining were performed to evaluate bone apoptosis and osteoclast number. RESULTS In all experimental groups, body weight was statistically lower than that in the Control group, with no changes observed in uncarboxylated osteocalcin concentrations. The radiological analysis revealed that insulin or metformin administration improved healing in the tooth extraction socket (p < 0.01). Histological examination revealed that the osteonecrosis area was reduced in the Ins+ZD and Met+ZD groups (p < 0.01). TRAP staining presented increased osteoclast numbers in the ZD group when compared with that observed in the Control. CONCLUSIONS Tooth extraction with long-term ZA and DX administration inhibited bone remodeling and induced bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw-like lesions. Metformin exerted protective effects ag ainst osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Incidence and risk of antiresorptive agent-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ARONJ) after tooth extraction in patients with autoimmune disease. J Bone Miner Metab 2020; 38:581-588. [PMID: 32076874 DOI: 10.1007/s00774-020-01089-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2019] [Accepted: 02/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Antiresorptive agent-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ARONJ) is a rare but serious complication in patients receiving antiresorprtive agents (AR). However, the incidence of ARONJ after tooth extraction in patients with autoimmune disease (AID) remains unclear. The present study aimed to clarify the high-risk population of ARONJ in patients with AID. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population comprised 232 patients treated with AR, AID or non-AID, who had undergone dental extraction from January 2011 to September 2017. The incidence and risk factors of ARONJ were analysed retrospectively. Additionally, the relationship between ARONJ and osteoporotic fracture (OF) and AR discontinuation during dental procedures was investigated. RESULTS Of 232 patients, 10 developed ARONJ within 1 year of dental extraction. The incidence of ARONJ in patients with AID was higher than that in non-AID patients (2.0/100 person-year vs 0.5/100 person-year; p = 0.03). Among the AID patients, RA patients had strikingly high incidence of ARONJ (3.6/100 person-year). The incidence of neither ARONJ nor OF significantly differed between patients who continued and discontinued AR in the perioperative period. CONCLUSION Patients with AID who undergo dental extraction are at high risk of ARONJ. Discontinuation of AR would not significantly contribute to reduce the incidence of ARONJ in those patients.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), which is characterized by refractory bone exposure, has recently emerged as a serious side effect of bisphosphonate (BP) treatment. BRONJ was first thought to be due to administration of high doses of intravenous BP to treat metastatic bone lesions or multiple myeloma. However, more recent studies have indicated that BRONJ also frequently occurs in patients receiving low doses of BP for the treatment of osteoporosis. In addition, patients treated with denosumab, a human monoclonal antibody against receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) whose antiresorptive effects differ from those of BP, may develop osteonecrosis of the jaw. Since both BP and denosumab are associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), antiresorptive agent-related ONJ (ARONJ) has been suggested as a comprehensive term. Although the pathophysiology of BRONJ remains unclear and the number of affected patients is increasing in Japan, significant improvements have been made with respect to risk reduction strategies and treatment. Despite the publication of the first position paper on BRONJ in Japan in 2010, an increase of the number of patients of BRONJ is hypothesized to result from an increase in the long-term use of BP. Previous findings have suggested that inadequate preventive measures including restriction of tooth extraction may be responsible for increases in BRONJ incidence.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Tooth extraction in patients receiving bisphosphonates is thought to be a risk factor for osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ); however, ONJ did not develop, even when tooth extraction was performed with continued oral bisphosphonate therapy. A drug holiday from bisphosphonates before tooth extraction may not be necessary. INTRODUCTION It is controversial whether bisphosphonate withdrawal is necessary prior to invasive procedures such as tooth extraction in order to prevent bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). This study aimed to evaluate the clinical safety of continuing oral bisphosphonate therapy in patients undergoing tooth extraction. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 132 patients (20 men, 112 women) who were receiving oral bisphosphonates for the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis and required tooth extraction. All patients were managed using an identical protocol, which included preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis and did not necessarily require complete wound closure. The patients were classified into groups according to the duration of bisphosphonate administration: < 2 years (n = 51), 2-5 years (n = 41), 5-10 years (n = 28), and > 10 years (n = 12). The groups were compared regarding the time taken for the extraction socket to heal, and the occurrence of BRONJ. Follow-up duration was at least 3 months. RESULTS A total of 274 teeth were removed. Long-term oral bisphosphonate therapy for > 5 years significantly delayed the healing of the extraction socket in comparison with administration for < 5 years; however, BRONJ did not develop in any group. There was no prolongation of wound healing due to systemic risk factors such as glucocorticoid administration and diabetes mellitus. There were no adverse skeletal events such as bone fracture. CONCLUSIONS Patients who underwent tooth extraction with continued oral bisphosphonate therapy showed delayed healing of the extraction socket as the cumulative administration period prolonged, but BRONJ did not develop.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Alhough typically prescribed in oncology, bisphosphonates (BPs) are also employed in rheumatology, particularly for the treatment of osteoporosis, sometimes resulting in complications, such as osteonecrosis of the jaw. Because of different opinions between rheumatologists and dentists on BP use, this study aimed to assess the views of dentists regarding administration of BPs in rheumatology. METHODS A questionnaire was sent to 880 dentists from the Auvergne region of France to determine their views on BP treatment. RESULTS We obtained 382 (43.4%) responses and analysed 376 (58.7% men). In total, 156 (41.5%) of the responders analysed had attended an in-service training course (ISTC) on the topic. A total of 237 (63.0%) systematically inquired as to whether their patients were undergoing BP treatment; this proportion was higher among those who had been practicing for fewer than 10 years (P < 0.004). For patients receiving BPs, 84.5% of practitioners felt ill at ease about performing dental surgery (n = 318) and 11% felt ill at ease about performing nonsurgical dental care (n = 41); 67% stated that their practice differed depending on the method of BP administration (per os or intravenously). Overall, 53.7% of practitioners felt uncomfortable when asked by a rheumatologist whether a given patient's dental status permitted prescription of BP (n = 202). This proportion was higher among those who had never attended an ISTC (62.6% vs. 50.7%; P < 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Dentists feel ill at ease providing dental surgery to patients receiving BPs. Closer collaboration and better information-sharing between rheumatologists and dentists is necessary to facilitate the administration of BPs in rheumatology.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate dental treatments, tooth extractions, and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients with RA enrolled in our cohort completed self-administered questionnaires, which included questions regarding their dental treatments, tooth extractions by dentists during the past 6 months, and past history of ONJ. The history of ONJ was validated with the patients' medical records. Logistic regression was used to determine the association of variables with dental treatments and tooth extractions during the past 6 months. Among 5695 Japanese patients with RA who responded to the questionnaires (mean age, 61.0 years; 85.6 % female), 2323 patients (40.8 %) and 378 patients (6.6 %) reported having had dental treatments and tooth extractions performed by a dentist within the past 6 months, respectively. In multivariate models, advanced age was significantly (P < 0.0001) associated with both dental treatments and tooth extractions during the prior 6-month period, and ever smoking was significantly (P = 0.023) correlated with tooth extractions during that time. Among patients who reported a history of ONJ, we confirmed five cases of ONJ with patient medical records. The prevalence of ONJ was 0.094 % among all RA patients and 0.26 % among female RA patients ≥65 years of age (n = 1888). Our data suggest that more than a few Japanese patients with RA have dental complications that require care by dentists, and that Japanese rheumatologists and dentists should cooperate to improve dental health in patients with RA.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate (BP)-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) was first reported in oncology patients in 2003 and subsequently in osteoporosis patients in 2004. Since oral surgical procedures, such as tooth extraction, are also considered one of the major risk factors for ONJ, there is confusion among physicians, dentists, and patients—particularly osteoporosis patients currently taking BPs—regarding the safety of remaining on therapy surrounding these procedures. Many papers about BP-related ONJ (BRONJ) have been published to date. In addition to BRONJ, recent studies have reported an association between ONJ and the antiresorptive therapy denosumab (Dmab; a RANKL-inhibitor). BRONJ and Dmab-related ONJ are together referred to as antiresorptive agent-related ONJ (ARONJ). The pathogenesis of ARONJ still remains unknown. It is forecasted that there will be an increased incidence of patients with osteoporotic fractures and an increased number of prescriptions for antiresorptive agents in Asia in the future. However, prescriptions for antiresorptives for osteoporosis may be restricted in the Asian population as the occurrence of ARONJ may be higher as compared with those in other countries. In this review, we focused on the following topics as it pertains to the Asian osteoporotic population: the oral condition specific for osteoporosis patients; definition, staging, prevalence and incidence of ARONJ; imaging modalities for ARONJ; specific risk factors for ARONJ; prevention strategies for ARONJ, and; cooperation between physicians and dentists in the prevention of ARONJ. Ideally, the Asian Federation of Osteoporosis Societies would cooperate with one another and find more population-specific evidence for the prevention of ARONJ.

Abstract
Antiresorptive agent-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ARONJ) is an intractable, though rare, complication in cancer patients with bone metastases and patients with osteoporosis who are treated with antiresorptive agents, including bisphosphonates and denosumab. Despite the more than 10 years that have passed since the first cases of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) were reported, our understanding of the epidemiology and pathophysiology of ARONJ remains limited, and data supported by evidence-based medicine are still sparse. However, the diagnosis and staging of ARONJ, identification of risk factors, and development of preventive and therapeutic approaches have advanced significantly over the past decade. The Position Paper 2017 is an updated version of the Position Paper 2010 of the Japanese Allied Committee on Osteonecrosis of the Jaw, which now comprises six Japanese academic societies. The Position Paper 2017 describes a new diagnostic definition for ARONJ, as proposed by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS), summarizes our current understanding of the pathophysiology of ARONJ based on a literature search, and suggests methods for physicians and dentists/oral surgeons to manage the disease. In addition, the appropriateness of discontinuing antiresorptive medications (drug holiday) before, during, and after invasive dental treatments is discussed extensively. More importantly, the manuscript also proposes, for the first time, the importance of interactive communication and cooperation between physicians and dentists/oral surgeons for the successful treatment of ARONJ. The Position Paper 2017 is intended to serve as a guide for improving the management of ARONJ patients in Japan.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our previous questionnaire-based survey suggested that discontinuation of antiresorptive agents before tooth extraction may increase adverse events and disturb osteoporosis treatment without completely preventing osteonecrosis of the jaw (O.N.J.). We also found little cooperation between physicians and dentists in Japan. However, limitations of our previous study included a survey of doctors belonging to small clinics and a small sample size. Our current study aimed to confirm the results of our previous survey in doctors mainly belonging to academia. METHODS A structured questionnaire including 14 key clinical queries was sent to 1812 physicians of the Japan Osteoporosis Society, and 629 responses were received. RESULTS Dentists requested discontinuation of many medications that were not associated with the incidence of O.N.J. A total of 523 respondents had received discontinuation requests from dentists. Of these, 97 respondents experienced 119 adverse events including 25 fractures and seven incidences of O.N.J. The ratios of valid responses for fractures were 3.6% and 5.3% in patients with a discontinuation of <3 and ≥3 months, respectively. Those for O.N.J. were 0.7% and 1.6%, respectively. Respondents who refused discontinuation requests reported no cases of O.N.J. Approximately 17% of respondents had patients who discontinued osteoporosis treatment following a requested drug discontinuation after tooth extraction. Approximately 62% of respondents did not request oral health care by a dentist before antiresorptive therapy, and 72% reported no cooperation between physicians and dentists in their region. CONCLUSIONS This study reconfirms the results of our previous survey. Discontinuation of antiresorptive treatment may increase both fractures and O.N.J. Immediate development of a strategy for sharing information about O.N.J. among physicians, dentists, and patients is required to reduce the incidence of both O.N.J. and skeletal events in osteoporosis treatment. Study limitations were selection bias due to low response rate and possible inaccurate responses to the questionnaire.
