Can children be affected by bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw? A systematic review
Knowledge of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is mostly based on adult cases, however bisphosphonates are also currently recommended for different paediatric diseases resulting in osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the risk of developing BRONJ in children and adolescents. The PubMed, LILACS, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases were searched using the key words “bisphosphonates”, “osteonecrosis”, “jaw”, and “children”. Literature reviews, case reports, abstracts, theses, textbooks, and book chapters were excluded.
