“…Bone resorption is a specific function of osteoclasts, which erode the bone surface; these cells are targeted by anti-osteoporosis therapy [ 6 ]. Bisphosphonates (BP) are clinically used in the treatment of osteoporosis and bone metastases [ 7 ]. BP has been reported in several cases with side effects such as gastrointestinal complaints, pyrexia and hypocalcemia, and especially bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) which is a well-documented devastating caused by long-term use of BP [ 8 , 9 ].…”

Li-Wan Lee suggested that for BRONJ lesions, surgical excision and curettage can obtain a better and faster results bone healing than conservative treatment.…”

“…[32][33][34] Thus, in these Brazilian cases, the triggering factor most reported was tooth dental extraction (45.98%), especially in individuals using ZOE (62.50%). Tooth extraction was also reported to be the main local factor that triggered BRONJ in North American, 27 European 31,[34][35][36][37][38][39] and Asian [40][41][42][43] populations.…”
