Abstract
Increasing usage of bisphosphonates, denosumab, and other drugs with similar side effects, which are prescribed for osteoporosis, cancer-related metastases, and bone-related diseases such as Paget’s disease, cause medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) cases to be encountered more frequently. Medical doctors and dentists who prescribe or employ these drugs must have comprehensive knowledge about the usage indications, mechanisms of action, and complications which may be caused by these drugs. However, there are few studies evaluating physicians’ awareness of MRONJ. In this review, osteonecrosis, mechanisms of action, and complications which may be caused by bisphosphonates, denosumab, and other drugs with similar side effects are examined. Studies from various countries of the world related to the awareness of physicians who prescribe these drugs were reviewed for the purpose of this study. Also, the results of a study from the city of Ankara are presented.

Bifosfonat, denosumab ve benzer yan etkilere sahip ilaçların osteoporoz, kanser ile ilişkili kemik metastazları ve Paget hastalığı gibi kemik ile ilişkili hastalıklarda kullanımının artması hekimlerin çenelerde ortaya çıkan osteonekroz [İlaç kullanımına bağlı çene osteonekrozu (Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws, MRONJ)] tablosu ile sıkça karşılaşmalarına neden olmaktadır. Bu durum özellikle söz konusu ilaçları reçete eden tıp hekimlerinin ve diş hekimlerinin ilaçların kullanım alanları, etki mekanizmaları, ortaya çıkabilecek komplikasyonları konusunda gerekli bilgi ve donanımına sahip olmalarını gerektirmektedir. Hekimlerin MRONJ ile ilgili farkındalığını değerlendiren az sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Osteonekrozun, bifosfonat, denosumab ve benzer ilaçların etki mekanizmalarının ve yan etkilerinin anlatıldığı bu derlemede, bu ilaçları reçete eden hekimlerin farkındalıkları ile ilgili tüm dünyada yapılmış çalışmalar gözden geçirilmiş ve Ankara şehrinde yapılmış bir çalışmanın sonuçları sunulmuştur.
