OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to analyze the communication between doctors and patients who were taking bone-stabilizing medication and in rare cases developed osteonecrosis of the jaw as a result.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A standardized questionnaire recorded deficits based on patient experiences. These data were used to develop solution strategies for improving doctor-patient communication and the benefit-risk assessment of medication use.
RESULTS: Most patients were satisfied with the information provided by their doctor; however, one in three (29.8%) were not informed about possible side effects, and a quarter (24.6%) only found out about osteonecrosis of the jaw through their own research. Only half (45.7%) were asked about risk factors, and most information materials were rated poorly. The diagnosis took an average of 18.7 months, with many (47.8%) consulting a doctor only when they experienced pain. Quality of life was severely impaired, with daily pain, physical limitations, and negative effects on mental health. About a third (35.3%) reported that their quality of life had deteriorated significantly.
CONCLUSIONS: Further research into patient education is necessary. Web-based information brochures, improved follow-up care, and close cooperation with dentists are required. The use of a running sheet, such as the AGSMO running sheet, for individual risk assessment of osteonecrosis of the jaw is recommended. Patients undergoing treatment with bone-stabilizing medication should be monitored closely. Education about osteonecrosis of the jaw must be continued, and the medical profession must be confronted with it.
