title: Bisphosphonates and osteonecrosis of the jaw: proceedings of an international conference.
abstract: There has been an upsurge of multidisciplinary research since the adoption of a standardized definition of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) and the first bisphosphenate-related ONJ conference in 2007 held at the New York Academy of Sciences. This series of papers revisits topics presented at the conference in addition to covering recent advances in the history, mechanisms, clinical management, and prevention of bisphosphonate-related ONJ.
