Abstract
The therapeutic use of Bisphosphonates has increased in the last decade. The long-term use of bisphosphonates has led to a challenging complication related to jaws knows as Bisphosphonate- induced osteoradionecrosis of the jaw BIONJ. In this paper we report a case of BIONJ in a renal sarcoidosis patient with clinical implications and management.
