Abstract
We describe a case of extensive osteonecrosis of the mandible after a dental extraction in a 71-year-old woman who was taking alendronic acid (Fosamax®, Merck) for osteoporosis. Bone damaged by bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), also now known as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), can be regenerated and filled with endosseous implants using non-vascularised autologous grafts.
