Evaluation of mandibular cortical bone ratio on computed tomography images in patients taking bisphosphonates.

Published in: Maxillofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery (2018)

The mandibular cortical bone ratio is large in order of patients with MRONJ, patients taking BP without MRONJ, and controls. This result suggests that the mandibular cortical bone ratio would be very useful to predict the development of MRONJ.
