Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Antiresorptive drugs are used to prevent bone resorption derived from different diseases. One of the most frequent complications of these drugs is the osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ). Casereport: We report the case of an 82-year-old male presenting multiple ONJ lesions in the maxilla associated with the trauma of a removable partial denture and the bisphosphonates intake. Discussion: The main controversy of ONJ lesions is the treatment that should be performed. Although it has been seen that there is no a totally effective therapy for ONJ, currently there are some promising and noninvasive techniques that seem to be effective, improving the quality of life of the patient.
