The participant will learn:

1. Strategies for diagnosis of MRONJ related to clinical presentation, imaging and differential diagnosis.
2. Risk assessment for dental treatment: What works and what doesn’t.
3. Recent advances in pathogenesis: What we know today and how this may impact clinical decisions.
