Zoledronic acid inhibits bone resorption and is an effective treatment for osteoporosis.

Key Points: 
  • Zoledronic acid inhibits bone resorption and is an effective treatment for osteoporosis.
  • Nonetheless, the effects of zoledronic acid on bones involved in dental implant procedures and bone cells have not been fully elucidated.
  • In this study, Yu-Ting Cheng and colleagues examined the effects of zoledronic acid on bone cells in an animal model of osteoporosis, ovariectomized rats that do not produce estrogen.
  • Our study suggests that low-dose zoledronic acid may inhibit mandibular resorption by inhibiting the NF-B signal pathway.We are currently examining the specific site of action, phosphorylation events, and downstream effector molecules for zoledronic acid."
