Abstract

Introduction The management of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is controversial. To date, there is no established treatment for cases of advanced stage 3 MRONJ osteoporosis in elderly patients. Presentation An 87-year-old osteoporotic woman with osteonecrosis-induced left mandible fracture related to minodronate therapy was referred to us for treatment. She had a vertebral compression fracture concurrently and had started subcutaneous injection of teriparatide. After 18 months of treatment with teriparatide the pathological mandible fracture was healed and functional recovery of the occlusion was obtained by complete dentures. Discussion Teriparatide may have a powerful anabolic effect on bone, and promote bone regeneration against pathologic mandible fracture induced by MRONJ. Conclusion Based upon these findings, teriparatide might be beneficial for advanced stage 3 MRONJ osteoporosis in elderly patients.
