本研究的目的是评估巴西牙医（DEN）和牙科学生（DS）对双磷酸盐（BP）和双磷酸盐相关的颌骨骨坏死（BRONJ）的知识。问卷的结构的基础上的主要信息BP和与BRONJ的发展相关的危险因素。通过卡方和Fisher精确检验分析获得的数据，考虑5%的显著性。72.1%的DEN和75%的DS不知道问卷中提到的BP 88名（84.6%）DEN和86名（86%）DS未识别其商业品牌（p < 0.0001）。同样，62（59.6%）DEN（p = 0.04）和58例（58%）DS（p < 0.0001）没有认识到BRONJ是BP的口腔副作用，也没有指出与BP使用无关的口腔状况。必须采取措施，以扩大DEN和DS对BP的认识，从而有助于预防BRONJ。
The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of Brazilian dentists (DEN) and dental students (DS) about bisphosphonates (BP) and bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ).A convenience sample of 104 DEN and 100 DS was randomly selected and invited to answer a questionnaire. The questionnaire was structured on the basis of the main information about BP and the risk factors associated with the development of BRONJ. The data obtained were analyzed by the chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, considering significance of 5 %.Seventy-five (72.1 %) DEN and 75 (75 %) DS did not know the BP cited in the questionnaire (p < 0.0001), and their commercial brand names were not recognized by 88 (84.6 %) DEN and 86 (86 %) DS (p < 0.0001). In the same way, 62 (59.6 %) DEN (p = 0.04) and 58 (58 %) DS (p < 0.0001) did not recognize BRONJ as an oral side effect of BP or point out oral conditions that were not associated with the use of BP.Practical initiatives, such as free lectures and workshops, must be taken to broaden the knowledge of DEN and DS about BP and thus contribute to the prevention of BRONJ.
