Abstract
We conclude that impairment of inferior alveolar nerve function can be an important early symptom or even the presenting symptom of BRONJ that is also easily detectable by bisphosphonate-prescribing physicians. Concerning the management of BRONJ, we conclude that surgical removal of necrotic bone combined with antibiotics is an adequate treatment in patients with osteonecrosis of the jaw.
