The development of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw could be associated with diabetes through microvascular complications. In particular, the presence of diabetic nephropathy increased this association 3.9-fold, according to data.

Previous studies have demonstrated a higher rate of diabetes or impaired fasting glucose among patients treated with bisphosphonates and diagnosed with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, according to researchers. In this cross-sectional retrospective study, researchers at Rambam Medical Center in Technion, Haifa, Israel, sought to re-examine this cohort.
