“…This is possibly the reason for few reports on human dental alterations as a consequence of etidronate use (Iwai et al, 2013). Alendronate, pamidronate, and zoledronate are certainly the most clinically important BPs in dentistry as they are widely prescribed for children under treatment of a variety of bone diseases, especially OI (Glorieux et al, 1998;Plotkin et al, 2000;Maasalu et al, 2003;Bajpai et al, 2007;Kamoun-Goldrat et al, 2008;Phillipi et al, 2008;Bachrach & Ward, 2009;Castillo & Samson-Fang, 2009;Hiraga et al, 2010;August et al, 2011;Kitaoka et al, 2011;Ward et al, 2011;Barros et al, 2012;Chilbule & Madhuri, 2012;Bishop et al 2013;Sukumar et al, 2013;Baroncelli & Bertelloni, 2014;Dwan et al, 2014). Pamidronate and zoledronate are NBPs with a mechanism of action on bone matrix and cells similar to that exhibited by alendronate.…”
