Abstract

Osteonecrosis of the jaw is a complication of osteoporosis treatment by bisphosphonate, which can cause serious issues for patients. This is a rare complication with unspecific symptoms and signs, and so makes it difficult to diagnose at early stage. Thus, leads to severe jaw destruction and needs to operate. In Hanoi Medical University hospital, we had two patients who diagnosed with oral bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Both patients were under operation to remove death bone and brought good results.
