Abstract
Modern day general dental practice and orthodontic specialty practice is no longer limited only for
healthy and younger individuals. Bisphosphonates ( Bp) have gained much popularity with regard to treatment
of calcium metabolic disorders. In every part of the world currently adult patients under bisphosphonate therapy
are visiting dental and orthodontic clinics to resolve their problems. So far there is no contraindication for
orthodontic patients who are under bisphosphonate therapy. Even though there is no contraindication for
orthodontic intervention, few general dental procedures like surgical or invasive treatments are avoided as a
precautionary measure. Considerable modifications of regular dental and orthodontic procedures should be
enforced in their management. This article reviews the clinical implication of the patients under bisphosphonate
therapy who are in need of dental and orthodontic procedures.
