Description
Summary:Objective To determine the frequency of osteonecrosis of the jaw in bisphosphonate users submitted to dental procedures. Methods This systematic review searched the sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, and Virtual Health Library, with no restriction on language or publication date. Reviewers, in pairs and independently, selected the studies, extracted their data, and assessed the risk of bias. Meta‐analyses were pooled using the DerSimonian and Laird random effects model. Results A total of 27 studies (5391 participants) were included. The most reported bisphosphonates were zoledronate (n = 17 studies) and alendronate (n = 19) for treating cancers (n = 11) and osteoporosis (n = 16), respectively. Twelve studies were of low methodological quality. The frequency of osteonecrosis was 2.7% (95% CI: 0.9–5.2%) and proved higher for intravenous [6.9% (0.7–17.3%)] than oral [0.2% (0.9–5.2%)] bisphosphonate use. No association between longer treatment duration and greater frequency of osteonecrosis was observed. Conclusions Higher frequency of osteonecrosis was observed in intravenous bisphosphonate users submitted to dental extraction. Further studies collecting more detailed information on the bisphosphonates used and of greater methodological rigor are warranted to confirm these findings and better inform prescribers, dental surgeons, and other professionals on risks of bisphosphonate use in this patient group.
