Interesting. Do her doctors know what caused the ONJ, given that she's never taken osteoporosis meds?
So far, I've never heard that osteoporosis, by itself, can cause ONJ. So my thinking's based on assumptions, not facts.

She said just having osteoporosis can contribute to ONJ. Our bone metabolism is different with osteoporosis and perhaps the thinning bones contributed to ONJ. I have been told my teeth roots are not anchored quite as good due to my osteoporosis though I do not have ONJ.
