We report a case of extensive bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) associated with a mandibular fracture, which improved after treatment with teriparatide and surgical therapy. An 83-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of swelling of the submandibular region. At presentation, clinical examination revealed swelling of the right submandibular region and discharge of pus. A computed tomographic (CT) scan confirmed osteolytic changes and a fracture of the mandible. Three months after bone curettage, fixation with a titanic plate, and treatment with teriparatide, new bone formation was observed. Five months after this therapy, the fractured segment had completely healed. Teriparatide may contribute to the improvement of BRONJ.
