  • Title: Alveolar bone and the bisphosphonates.
    Author: Cheng A, Daly CG, Logan RM, Stein B, Goss AN.
    Journal: Aust Dent J; 2009 Sep; 54 Suppl 1():S51-61. PubMed ID: 19737268.
    Abstract:
    Bisphosphonate associated osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ) usually commences at the alveolus. Comparison is made between the structure and function of long bones and alveolar bone and the differing susceptibilities of the bisphosphonates at these different sites are explored. Current concepts of the causation of ONJ are discussed. The clinical implications of these findings to dentists managing periodontal conditions are presented.
