This draft guidance is an update to the 2011 SDCEP publication Oral Health Management of Patients Prescribed Bisphosphonates and includes new advice on the wider range of drugs implicated in medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).

SDCEP would greatly appreciate your comments to help inform further development of this guidance before publication.

The guidance is primarily intended for dentists in primary care dental practice, and will also be of relevance to the secondary care dental service, those involved in dental education, undergraduate trainees, prescribers of these drugs and patients.
