Medicine to strengthen bones — jawbone heals slowly

Bisphosphonate inhibits bone destruction, reduces hip and spine fractures, but jawbone regenerates slowly after tooth extraction, bone grafting, and implants.Rare but serious complications: exposed bone does not heal (drug-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw).

Declare drug name, route of administration (oral or infusion), number of years of use.Do not stop taking the medicine yourself.The decision to temporarily suspend is part of the internal medicine – dentistry consultation.Prioritize keeping the tooth, only extract it when there is no longer a safe option.
