    Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the awareness and knowledge of oral and medical healthcare professionals regarding the prevention, diagnosis, and management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ).Materials and Methods: Two surveys were conducted with oral and medical healthcare professionals to evaluate their knowledge and attitude about bisphosphonates and their experiences with BRONJ. Results: A total of 385 oral and 119 medical healthcare responses were obtained. The level of knowledge of oral healthcare professionals who practiced for less than 10 years was significantly higher than that of those practicing for more than 10 years (p<0.05). Oral surgeons and periodontists had the highest level of knowledge (p<0.05). The knowledge level scores of the medical healthcare professionals exposed to the necrotic jaw during their careers were significantly higher than those who did not (p<0.05).Conclusion: Within its limits, the knowledge of medical healthcare professionals was lower than expected. Knowledge of oral healthcare professionals was moderate, except for oral surgeons and periodontists. Multidisciplinary informative platforms between oral and medical healthcare professionals will benefit the management of potential risks and complications related to BPs.
