Abstract

Implant placement in patient with history of bisphosphonate therapy is still controversial due to the risks of osteointegration failure and Biphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaws. Very few cases are reported. This paper aimed to report the success at 3 years follow up of 4 implants placed in a female patient with history of breast cancer and zoledronate infu-sions ( twice yearly for 2 years).
