Having adequate knowledge about BPs and bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is very important to prevent complications. In this study, we aimed to determine the level of knowledge of dentists about BPs and BRONJ in Turkey and also aimed to share the results with health authorities to plan new education strategies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A questionnaire consisting of 20 questions and two parts was used to determine the knowledge level, attitude, and training needs of the dentists. Answers to all questions were analyzed with descriptive statistics, and using Pearson Chi-square and Kruskal\u2013Wallis tests. P values &lt;0.05 were considered statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 620 general and specialist dentists working in three different sectors and four different cities agreed to participate in the study. Statistically, more knowledge about BPs and BRONJ was observed in dentists who have less than 10 years of experience than those who have over 10 years, specialist dentists than general dentists, and those who working in university hospitals than in other sectors. In general, the rate of those who know BPs is 16.8%, the rate of those who know BRONJ is 20.2%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although the use of BPs increases day by day, the awareness of BPs and BRONJ among the dentists is insufficient. However, periodically organizing postgraduate training programs on this subject will increase the awareness and level of knowledge.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/njcp.njcp_684_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,11]],"date-time":"2022-01-11T02:18:50Z","timestamp":1641867530000},"page":"1485-1491","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Knowledge and attitude regarding bisphosphonates and related osteonecrosis among Turkish dentist"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"E","family":"\u00d6zkan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MC","family":"Bereket","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N","family":"\u00d6zkan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-11-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1099","DOI":"10.1007\/s00520-010-0882-1","article-title":"A systematic review of bisphosphonate osteonecrosis (bon) in cancer","volume":"18","author":"Migliorati","year":"2010","journal-title":"Support Care Cancer"},{"key":"R2-11-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2465","DOI":"10.1007\/s00198-017-4063-7","article-title":"A multicenter retrospective study of the risk factors associated with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw after tooth extraction in patients receiving oral bisphosphonate therapy: Can primary wound closure and a drug holiday really prevent MRONJ?","volume":"28","author":"Hasegawa","year":"2017","journal-title":"Osteoporos Int"},{"key":"R3-11-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1007\/s10006-015-0538-x","article-title":"Surgical management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws: Literature review","volume":"20","author":"Silva","year":"2016","journal-title":"Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R4-11-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2278","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMp068157","article-title":"Osteonecrosis of the jaw\u2014Do bisphosphonates pose a risk?","volume":"355","author":"Bilezikian","year":"2006","journal-title":"N Eng J Med"},{"key":"R5-11-20240907","first-page":"438","article-title":"Bir \u0130lde A\u011f\u0131z ve Di\u015f Sa\u011fl\u0131\u011f\u0131, Merkezinde \u00c7al\u0131\u015fan Di\u015f Hekimlerinin \u0130laca Ba\u011fl\u0131 Olu\u015fan Kemik Osteonekrozu Hakk\u0131nda Bilgi ve Fark\u0131ndal\u0131klar\u0131","volume":"10","author":"\u00c7ebi","year":"2019","journal-title":"Ac\u0131badem Sa\u011fl\u0131k Bilimleri Dergisi"},{"key":"R6-11-20240907","first-page":"e84","article-title":"Knowledge of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the Jawsamong Mexican dentists","volume":"22","author":"Vinitzky-Brener","year":"2017","journal-title":"Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal"},{"key":"R7-11-20240907","first-page":"61","article-title":"How concerns for bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw affect clinical practice among dentists: A study from the South Texas Oral Health Network","volume":"63","author":"Gonzales","year":"2015","journal-title":"Gen Dent"},{"key":"R8-11-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"878","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2753.2009.01203.x","article-title":"Bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw.
