Abstract:
As inhibitors of osteoclasts, Bisphosphonates are a group of drugs used in the treatment of oncology patients with bone metastases. However, some reports have described osteonecrosis of the jaws occurring after taking drugs containing bisphosphonates. The advances in clinical manifestation, imaging findings as well as the mechanisms of bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaws were reviewed in this article.
