Objective: Oral bisphosphonates (BPs) are widely used in the treatment of osteoporosis. When tooth extraction is performed, the recommendation is to discontinue oral BP therapy in patients if they have risk factors such as diabetes, treatment with steroids, malignancy, rheumatoid arthritis and renal failure, or have received these agents for a long period. However, there is little evidence to support this recommendation. The aim of this multicenter retrospective study was to assess the preventive effect of discontinuing oral BPs on development of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ).Methods: A total of 341 patients receiving oral BPs underwent extraction of 850 teeth from 402 jaws. Various factors were evaluated, including age, gender, diabetes, steroid use, malignancy, rheumatoid arthritis, renal failure, type of oral BP administered, duration of treatment, number of teeth extracted, reason for extraction, site (upper or lower jaw), wound status (open or complete closure), and whether BP therapy was discontinued. The relationship between these factors and development of BRONJ was analyzed by Fisher's Exact test and one-way analysis of variance. Further, propensity score matching analysis was performed to reduce selection biases associated with retrospective data between discontinuing and continuing groups.Results: BRONJ developed in 7 (2.1%) of 341 patients. Univariate analysis showed that BRONJ developed significantly more often in patients receiving second-generation agents. Discontinuation of BPs was not associated with a reduced risk of BRONJ. After propensity score matching, no factors including discontinuing BPs were correlated with development of BRONJ.Conclusion: The results of this study do not support discontinuation of oral BPs before tooth extraction to prevent BRONJ.
