Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ): ONJ, which can occur spontaneously, is generally associated with tooth extraction and/or local infection with delayed healing, and has been reported in patients receiving EVENITY®.

kristie2, osteonecrosis can be an adverse effect. Your doctors know the etiology of the abscess, but I don't think ONJ was signaled in the clinical trial and that might leave practitioners unaware. You might alert them to the danger by asking if (not if they've seen it but) if there is any concern. This can be more gracefully done in a message chart or by fax. But I (nobody's favorite patient) would want a response from both practitioners.
I hope you can proceed with treatment.

Thank you for all your input . I talked to the endodontist and she feels comfortable with this procedure . I am worried that if I don’t go forward in having this done I am truly risking my chances of ONJ . The abscess healed but when I press on the area it’s sensitive to the touch and I am afraid of the abscess coming back or this is creating further damage . I also talked to my endocrinologist and she is going to talk with her. This does not involve any bone issues . My CTX & P1NP numbers are good at this time also . This whole situation is so stressful 😣
