September 26th, 2008 · No Comments

East Hanover, NJ, September 25, 2008 — Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation today announced the launch of a complimentary dental industry-focused dinner meeting series entitled “Benefits of Bisphosphonate Therapy vs Frequency of Oral Complications: An Educational Program for Dental Professionals.”

The dinner meetings are designed as an adjunct to Novartis’ recently-launched web seminar series and are being offered for dentists who prefer live seminars and the opportunity to interact with the presenters as well as their peers.

A total of ten 2-hour dinner meetings (www.oralhealthdinnermeeting.com) are to be hosted between September and December, and will be presented by a rotating roster of clinicians who are leading experts on this compelling and highly relevant subject.

“Benefits of Bisphosphonate Therapy vs Frequency of Oral Complications: An Educational Program for Dental Professionals” will cover the following topics that every general practice dentist needs to know:

  • Overview of bisphosphonates and uses in treatment of osteoporosis and metastatic
    bone disease
  • Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) background
  • ONJ frequency in oncology and osteoporosis patients treated with bisphosphonates
