  • Title: Bisphosphonate osteonecrosis: a protocol for surgical management.
    Author: Markose G, Mackenzie FR, Currie WJ, Hislop WS.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2009 Jun; 47(4):294-7. PubMed ID: 19231046.
    Abstract:
    We present a protocol for the management of a subgroup of patients with bisphosphonate osteonecrosis who presented with painful, exposed, necrotic, alveolar bone. It is simple and can easily be adapted to suit anatomical variations of the oral cavity. Current guidelines based on consensus for the management of bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis fail to provide mucosal coverage, which is a primary requirement in managing the condition. We have evaluated the results of a group of 15 patients and analysed their postoperative progress for 24 months.
