Material/Methods: A prospective epidemiological study of 112 patients diagnosed with Bisphosphonate-associated Osteonecrosis of the jaw in 2016 and 2017 was conducted in the Clinic of maxillo-facial surgery of UMHAT "St. George", Plovdiv, Bulgaria, based on anamnesis, clinical examination, hospital documentation, and imaging studies. SPSS Statistics v.24 was used for statistical analysis, at a significance level p<0.05. Results: Of the patients, 77.89% had a primary oncological diagnosis of breast or prostate cancer; the average duration of bisphosphonate therapy up to the time of the study is 4.5 years; the most common co-morbidities were hypertension (72.73%), anemia (40.00%) and diabetes (23.67%); 65.18% of patients smoke or are former smokers; the time till first oral complaints after initiation of BP treatment was usually 2 years (31.25%, n = 35) and 3 years (24.11%, n = 27) (p> 0.05).; the last dental manipulation before the onset of symptoms was tooth extraction (52.68%), followed by removable dentures (21.42%).
