Prolia and dental extraction timing

Posted by mariam58 @mariam58, 16 hours ago

Hi, I will require a dental extraction while taking Prolia since 9 years. What is the best timing for a dental extraction to reduce the chances of ONJ and successful healing of the gum after the extraction? Thanks!

Go to the top of this page to the 🔍 function. Type in Prolia and dental extraction or Prolia and dental work. Your question may get more attention in an ongoing discussion.

What does your oral surgeon say about timing and is she up to date/experienced with the Prolia issue?

The best timing for the extraction is 5 months after your last injection. The literature indicates the 5 th to 6th month after the last Prolia. But I like the idea of giving that last month up to healing. Your risk is low (they say), but try to get coordination between the oral surgeon and the prescribing doctor.
