Objective: the aim of this study is to present a case of a 78-year-old male patient with myelodysplastic syndrome and secondary osteoporosis, treated with high-dose Zoledronic Acid and who developed a clinical scenario compatible with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw during its evolution...
