Clinical case illustrating the prevention of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in a patient reporting pain in the left mandibular second molar using zoledronic acid every 6 months for 2 years for osteoporosis. (A) Initial clinical view of the tooth scheduled for extraction. B) Intraoperative view after tooth extraction. (C) Application of methylene blue as a pre-irradiation step for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. Approximately 1mL of the solution was applied to the extraction socket (100µg/mL) for 1 min. (D) Application of 660nm red light to the socket (100mW; 6J/point). (E) Clinical outcome 2 weeks after tooth extraction. (F) Clinical outcome 8 weeks after surgery, showing complete healing with complete soft tissue covering
