The aim of this paper is to present the case of a 73 year old man with immediate implants who was admitted to the Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery for treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the upper right jaw. The problem occurred after the extraction of two teeth, without considering that the patient is undergoing chemotherapy with Xgeva. The patient was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2013. In 2015 were found metastases on the bones. According to the particular characteristics of the patient he underwent surgery under general anesthesia. The innovation in our case is that we used a placement of a PRF membrane and plastic closure of the wound. This is a new and alternative treatment method and there were no postoperative complications or wound infections, which are usually common in the postoperative period for people with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws.
