We aimed to present a rare case of osteonecrosis in the maxilla in an 80-year-old male patient treated with intravenous (IV) zoledronic acid to overcome bone metastases associated with prostate cancer. An 80-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with pain in his left maxilla. In his medical history, it was learned that he had bilateral Orchidectomi operation in 2006 with bone metastasis. The patient received chemotherapy and then received bisphosphonate treatment with IV zoledrononic acid two years ago. It was learned that tooth extraction was made from the region where the patient complained of pain 1 year ago. In the intraoral examination of the patient, the presence of necrotic bone was detected in the region from the left upper canine to the posterior maxilla of the left toothless. On the panoramic radiograph, radiolucent area was observed in the relevant region. For further investigation, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was taken, and sequester and presence of osteolysis were detected in the upper left maxillary region. Nonspecific, soft tissue density increased left maxillary sinusitis was detected. Considering the medical history, clinical and CBCT examination, the patient was diagnosed with stage 3 osteonecrosis. In the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department, the necrosis region was debrided and afterwards, the prosthetic rehabilitation of the relevant region was provided in the Prosthetic Dentistry department. This case emphasizes that oral and dentomaxillofacial radiologists and maxillofacial surgeons, and otolaryngologists play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of osteonecrosis of the jaw and show that there is a need for awareness that this situation reveals variable signs and symptoms.
