Bisphosphonate is used widely for osteoporosis treatment, but a rising concern is the risk of osteonecrosis after long-term bisphosphonate use. Such cases are increasing, suggesting a need for research to prevent and treat bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of jaws. A 63-year-old female took bisphosphonate (Fosamax(®)) for four years for treatment of osteoporosis and stopped medication two months ago because of unhealed wound. She was treated with marginal mandibulectomy maintaining the inferior border, and a metal plate was placed to prevent mandible fracture. Four months after the mandibulectomy, mandible reconstruction surgery using iliac bone and allograft was done. Six months after reconstruction, implant placement and treatment with an overdenture was done without complications. This study presents a case with a successful result.
