Bisphosphonates are antiresorptive drugs affecting mainly osteoclasts and thus maintaining the bone density and strength. The one of the most important property of bisphosphonates is their very high affinity to bone tissue and subsequent deposition in bone tissue, thus ensuring a high concentration in bone tissues. The osteonecrosis of the maxilla is a newly described phenomena in connection with bisphosphonate therapy. The first case describing osteonecrosis of the maxilla was published in 2003. Since then, sufficient and increased attention has been paid to this problem.
