ABSTRACT The bisphosphonates (BPs) are drugs used to treat metabolic bone diseases involving intense bone resorption. These compounds are capable of altering the bone remodeling by decreasing osteoclast activity. However, the changes that these drugs cause to the bones of patients without a history of cervico-facial radiotherapy can result in a complication called osteonecrosis of the jaw, which is caused by dental surgery, trauma or infections. Osteonecrosis of the jaw is characterized by an exposed necrotic bone in the maxillofacial region, persisting for prolonged periods without complete healing. Based on clinical experience and literature review, the aim of the present study was to describe a clinical case of a patient with osteoporosis taking alendronate (Fosamax®) to control the progression of the disease with a characteristic clinical condition of osteonecrosis of the jaw. We evaluated the etiological factors, the relationship between BPs and osteonecrosis of the jaw, the mechanisms of action and possible treatments.

The Relationship

Nursing research is expected to provide options for the primary prevention of disease and health promotion, regardless of pathology or disease. Nurses have the skills to develop and lead research that addresses the relationship between genetic factors and health. Increasing genetic knowledge and research capacity through interdisciplinary cooperation as well as the development of research resources, will accelerate the rate at which nurses contribute to the knowledge about genetics and health. There are currently different fields in which knowledge can be expanded by research developed from the nursing field. Here, we present an emerging field of research in which it is hypothesized that genetics may affect bone metabolism. Better insight of genetic factors that are contributing to metabolic bone diseases would allow for focused nursing care and preventive interventions.
