Abstract

We report a case of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) associated with denosumab therapy in a 69-year-old female patient being treated for osteoporosis. The patient was admitted in Oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic twice because of nonhealing extraction wounds and inflammatory complications. We recommend conservative therapeutic approach and avoidance of extensive surgery in patients with ONJ.
