Abstract: This article reports a case of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. The patient was treated with bisphosphonates due to prostate cancer. Implant placement was performed in the left posterior mandible during the intake of bisphosphonate, which resulted in osteonecrosis in the operation area. Surgical treatment was performed, and the affected area was observed by endoscope during the operation. The patient healed well after operation. Furthermore, this article reviews the literature on the pathogenesis, related factors, treatment and prevention of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.
