Our search identified 27 cases of alkylbiphosphonate-induced ONJ in the literature. Among these cases, only ten patients were on alkylbiphosphonate monotherapy; in the other cases, aminobiphosphonates had also been used. The clinical presentation of the alkylbiphosphonate-induced ONJ was similar to...
