aLazarovici et al. [34] case concluded patients that already showed with implant-related BRONJ. Antibiotic therapy and canceling BP medication was the treatment strategy. And implant survival rate after the treatment was 63% (Intraorally medicated patients) and 31% (intravenously medicated patients).
Iv = intravenous; BP = bisphosphonates.
