Abstract

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is a well-described, yet poorly understood disease of bone that is commonly associated with antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs. We report a case of spontaneous bilateral osteonecrosis of the mandible in a patient with no previous exposure to either.
