Introduction: Bisphosphonates are a group of medications used to treat osteolytic diseases such as multiple myeloma, osteoporosis, and Paget’s disease. A late complication of this medication is osteonecrosis in the maxillary bones. It is defined as the development of necrotic bone in the oral cavity of a patient under current or with previous treatment with bisphosphonate and subjected to some invasive oral surgical procedure without radiotherapy. Objective: This study aimed to describe, through case reports, the option of a surgical technique for the treatment of osteonecrosis with bisphosphonates. Materials and Method: In all cases reported, surgical therapy included osteotomy and surgical removal of bone sequestration, debridement, irrigation with saline solution, and simple continuous suture. Results: The postoperative clinical control revealed satisfactory healing, considerable lesion improvement, and significant shortand long-term reepithelialization. Conclusion: Patients should be subjected to a careful dental examination before using these medications. No invasive surgical treatment should be performed during therapy with these drugs.Downloads
