Abstract

Bisphosphonates (BP) are commonly used in individuals with thalassaemia to stabilise bone remodelling. However, in recent years, evidence has emerged that bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BONJ) may occur. Cases of BONJ have recently been confirmed in individuals with thalassaemia. The aim of the presentation is to detail the prevalence of BONJ, outline the presentation (exposed vs. non-exposed), describe the management strategies that have been proposed, and discuss some risk reduction strategies.
Keywords: bisphosphonates; thalassaemia; bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw; BONJ bisphosphonates; thalassaemia; bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw; BONJ
