kristie2, Evenity can cause osteonecrosis of the jaw. If you developed the abscess after beginning Evenity, Evenity may be the cause. If you had the abcess before starting Evenity, Evenity may reduce the ability of the abcess to heal. A gum graft while on Evenity, I think, would be ill advised.

I went in for my gum graft and she found that I have reabsorption of that tooth . She said it looks like my tooth was scooped out at the bottom . She clean the pocket and stitched the gum on either side of the tooth . No gum graft done . She is getting advice on how to proceed. Root canal if tooth can be saved or tooth will need to be pulled .

@gently Can you cite your basis/source for reporting that a gum graft while on Evenity is ill advised? I will have # 15/16 injections in two weeks and I’m slated to have a root canal and future grafts due to recession (not caused by meds). As bone is not impacted by these non-invasive procedures, all docs are on board without cessation of Evenity during treatments.
