dc.description.abstractObjective: This study evaluates oral healthcare professionals' attitudes towards managing different dental clinical scenarios considering different durations and administration routes of antiresorptive drugs. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional, Web-based survey. The first part of the survey evaluated demographic data; the second part investigated dentists' medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) treatment approach; the third part comprised clinical treatment scenario questions regarding the administration route and duration of usage. Oneway ANOVA test was used in the intergroup comparison of parameters showing normal distribution, and Tamhane's T2 test was used to determine the group that caused the difference. Student t-test was used for comparison of parameters showing normal distribution. The chi-square test, Continuity (yates) correction, and Fisher Freeman Halton test were used to evaluate qualitative data. Significance was set at P <.05. Results: 35.8% of dentists said they would not treat at-risk patients as the correct approach. More than half of the participants prefer to refer to the cases of osteonecrosis from the 1st stage to a specialist. A statistically significant difference was found between the correct answers about all five treatment scenarios for patients receiving oral bisphosphonate (BP) ≤3 years in favor of experienced dentists (P<.05). Conclusion: Within the confines of this study, dentists' knowledge of BP and osteonecrosis is moderate. Dentists with less than ten years of working experience are more cautious about patients using BP due to the risk of developing osteonecrosis when different dental treatments are performed.
