I have experienced positive gains with no side effects using Prolia for 5 years. I WISH I had read the study mentioned by Gently before I took a 3-month “holiday” to have a dental implant. My rheumatologist didn’t offer information to help me with decision-making beforehand, she said “I was between a rock and a hard spot”. The 3rd month post dental work I experienced an L-1 acute fracture and L-3 sub acute.
I am moving through mental, emotional and physical implications of fractures wondering what to do next…I had a Prolia injection right after fractures occurred and am now in PT, doing well. My recent DEXA still shows gains.
If anyone has transitioned from Prolia post 5 years of using I would appreciate hearing about your experiences transitioning off of Prolia and or research regarding dental work timing when on Prolia. I’d like to share the information with my Periodontist and Rheumatologist and possibly help others facing this decision.
