It is important to note that though the risks for developing ONJ are much higher for cancer patients on intravenous bisphospho- nate therapy (used to reduce bone pain), the occur- rence of ONJ also in patients treated with oral BF for osteoporosis has been also highlighted, though rarely. On the basis of the large use of BF, of their pharmacokinetics, of the systemic and local risk factors, physicians prescribing them and dental surgeons should be well informed on the various aspects of the problem.
