Steph, I know a few years ago when I researched this, the intravenous risk was much greater than the oral risk and I know that 10% for the intravenous risk is sticking in my head as the risk figure. If I can find my old articles to support this, I will post them. Just a little advice to keep up with good oral care, Steph.Even after you stop biphosphonates, they stay in the bone forever and very slowly deplete. Be really meticulous about oral mouth care, knowing there may still be a risk for osteonecrosis, albiet it is likely extremely low.
