Spontaneous bilateral osteonecrosis of the mandible in a bisphosphonate-naive patient

A W Sklavos et al. Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2019 Apr.

Abstract

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is a well-described, yet poorly understood disease of bone that is commonly associated with antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs. We report a case of spontaneous bilateral osteonecrosis of the mandible in a patient with no previous exposure to either.

Keywords: MRONJ; ONJ; medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw; oral pathology; osteonecrosis.
