Abstract
Bisphosphonates are widely used in the management of osteoporosis patients. Many reports and clinical studies have published a relationship between necrotic bone lesions localized to the jaw and the use of chronic bisphosphonate therapy. This osteonecrosis named bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw(BRONJ). This article described the mechanism, chemical structure, indication, risk factor of the bisphosphonate.
