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.
