zoledronic acid and dental procedures

Does anyone have a policy and/or a procedure on how to handle patients on IV bisphosphonates? How long do you have patients wait between dental procedures and infusions and what steps have you implemented to prevent patients from receiving these medications too soon after a dental procedure?
Thanks
