Course Description:

At a time when both dentistry and medicine are galloping ahead at break-neck speed, it is critical for the dental professional to understand developments in medicine that can critically impact care of their patients.

Anti-cancer drugs have been implicated for causing bone destruction in the jaw (MRONJ). The number of cases--and the number of drugs causing this osteonecrosis--appears to be growing.
 

Course Objectives:

  • Learn how to apply risk stratification to patients on angiogenesis inhibitors  

  • Learn how to develop trust with patients, while asking more cancer-related questions 

Scientific support and additional resources are available here.
