Evenity Side Effects: Blurry vision?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Dec 21, 2023 | Replies (41)Comment receiving replies
Dec 16 2023. I have stage o osteonecrosis of the jaw( dx by maxillofacial surgeon) after third Evenity injection( my endocrinologist did not examine my mouth before initiating Evenity) ? Now I need dental procedures , 18 days after my last dose, 11/28/23. Apparently extraction often can precipitate severe Osteonecrosis of the jaw. Is this Endocrinologist negligent. Should I be on antibiotics or should I go ahead with the coronectomy ? It will expose almost as much bone as an extraction?????

Did you have any symptoms of the osteonecrosis ? I don’t think endocrinologist are qualified for mouth / teeth examination . It would be a periodontist or maxillofacial Md .
Both my oral surgeons researched the Evenity-osteonecrosis connection and advised postponing injections for 2 months before and after the dental work. For me that worked but the dentist did so some research beforehand which I appreciate. Were you advised to follow this protocol? If not, there might have been some negligence there.

My endocrinologist said I had to see my dentist prior to the infusions. Have you been told how long it takes to wear off the infusions before getting dental work? I'm not sure but I think I have read that antibiotics are used in these instances.
