Abstract

Antiresorptive agent-related osteonecrosis of the jaw results in appreciable morbidity in affected patients.

Everolimus is a serine–threonine kinase that acts as an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin, which results in reduced growth of cells, angiogenesis, and survival of cells. We report the first case to our knowledge of osteonecrosis of the jaw that seemed to result from the additive effect of everolimus.
