In this episode of RiskMatters, Senior Dentolegal consultant, Dr Annalene Weston sits down with Dr Saskia Salvestro to explore medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Saskia is a highly regarded dental practitioner, recognised for her expertise in contemporary dentistry and her commitment to advancing the profession. Earlier this year, she contributed an exceptional article on MRONJ to our Young Dental Practitioner publication. The insights were simply too valuable to leave on the page, prompting Annalene to bring the conversation to a wider audience through this podcast.
