Abstract:

Antiresorptive medications are used mainly to treat patients with osteoporosis or different cancers with bone involvement such as multiple myeloma, breast carcinoma, and prostate carcinoma for bone metastasis prevention. In the last decade, taking these medications has caused many problems for patients and their dentists. Therefore, it is imperative for all dentists to be aware of the side effects of taking these drugs and caution is required in dental procedures, such as tooth extraction. The purpose of this case report is to present a case of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of mandible with cutaneous sinus affecting a 64-year-old female with past medical history of breast cancer.
