The progressive aging of the Spanish population may increase the risk of suffering from various bone pathologies such as osteoporosis, which together with different oncological processes usually lead to the consumption of drugs such as bisphosphonates.

Taking these types of drugs can cause side effects, such as osteonecrosis of the jaws. A clinical case treated in the Dental Practice Service of the University of Saragossa is presented, where after taking bisphosphonates, osteonecrosis of the jaw appeared. These patients are approached from a multidisciplinary point of view, so the clinical management was carried out in coordination with the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service of the Miguel Servet University Hospital in Saragossa.

Keywords : jaw osteonecrosis; osteoporosis; bisphosphonates.
