Lack of cooperation between physicians and dentists during osteoporosis treatment may increase fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw.

CONCLUSIONS: This study reconfirms the results of our previous survey. Discontinuation of antiresorptive treatment may increase both fractures and ONJ. Immediate development of a strategy for sharing information about ONJ among physicians, dentists, and patients is required to reduce the incidence of both ONJ and skeletal events in osteoporosis treatment. Study limitations were selection bias due to low response rate and possible inaccurate responses to the questionnaire.
