Abstract

Osteonecrosis of the jaw induced by bisphosphonates is an undesirable effect associated with long term use of
these drugs, is characterized by the presence of exposed and/or necrotic bone in the maxillar and/or mandibular
region, which develops in the majority of cases after performing an invasive dental treatment. Many important
details about its pathogenesis are still unknown, however there have been established partnerships with certain
risk factors. One of the most important aspects related to osteonecrosis of the jaws induced by bisphosphonate is
prevention, which currently in Costa Rica is low, therefore there is a clear need for training health professionals
in the subject.
