The osteonecrosis of the jaw originated by the biphosphonate administration is an infrequent pathology in patients under treatment with biophosphonates given orally or through parenteral administration after some odontological treatment. These patients manifested osteonecrosis of the jaw. Since the first case of osteonecrosis of the maxilar bone was reported in 2003, the number of patients with osteonecrosis of the jaw who have been treated with these drugs has increased notoriously. We report 2 clinical cases of patients with osteonecrosis of the jaw treated with bifosfonatos, in order to make this pathology known among the health professionals and raise awareness considering that there is no effective treatment.
