Actonel and Dental Implants: What is the proper protocol?
Dr. R asks:
I have a female patient without major medical complications. She has been taking Actonel 150mg [Risedronate] doses. How long should I wait after she stops the Actonel before I place the dental implants? I want to avoid any bone osteonecrosis complications. Is there any reliable test that I can use to determine the appropriate time to place the implants?
