Abstract

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) occurs as a side effect of several drug classes, including antiresorptives and antiangiogenics. Its treatment may be approached in a number of different ways.

The report below outlines a notable surgical case wherein sequestrectomy (with the aid of fluorescence and a Visually Enhanced Lesion Scope) was paired with concurrent reconstruction using a nasolabial fold flap to cover a large osteonecrosis lesion.
