Abstract

BISPO, Luciano Bonatelli. Implantology considerations about osteonecrosis of the jaws powerful by bisphosphonate therapy. Rev. Bras. Odontol. [online]. 2013, vol.70, n.2, pp. 196-201. ISSN 1984-3747.

Traumatic lesions or surgical interventions, such as: exodontics or the implants placement, promote infection of the necrotic area with microorganisms present in the oral cavity. In spite of lower statistically incidence, the osteonecrosis potentiated by bisphosphonates constitutes alteration of high morbidity, causing drastic decrease of comfort and quality of life for the patients with committed immunity. The objective of this work is to do a review about the pharmacological bisphosphonates action in patients rehabilitated with implants and the aetiology of failures induced by avascular osteonecrosis of the jaws.
