A Retrospective Clinical and Radiographic Study on Healing of Periradicular Lesions in Patients Taking Oral Bisphosphonates

The results of this preliminary short-term study suggest that patients taking long-term oral bisphosphonates can expect a satisfactory outcome with evidence of periradicular healing after conventional root canal treatment. Thus, root canal treatment may be considered a safe and realistic alternative to extraction in patients on bisphosphonate therapy.
