RESUMEN
This review outlines the historical perspective, status, and future challenges of oral medicine (stomatology) in Brazil based on the records of the Brazilian Society of Stomatology and Oral Pathology (SOBEP) and the Brazilian Federal Dental Council as well as expert evidence input from academic leaders from 3 different generations of Brazilian oral medicine specialists. The beginning of oral medicine in Brazil dates to 1969, followed by the organization of SOBEP in 1974; however, official recognition as an independent specialty was achieved more recently within the Brazilian Federal Dental Council in 1992. After a 50-year maturation period of oral medicine in Brazil in terms of specialty crystallization across dentistry, medicine, and research, it is now time to follow the historical trends of the specialty internationally and establish a standard curriculum at a post-graduate level that will lead to uniformity of training for oral medicine in Brazil.

O objetivo deste trabalho é reportar os achados sócio-demográficos, clínicos e de tratamento de 19 pacientes portadores de osteonecrose de mandíbula e maxila associada ao uso de bisfosfonatos (OMMB). Dezessete pacientes (89%) utilizavam bisfosfonatos por via intravenosa e todos os pacientes apresentavam dor e exposição óssea. Dezesseis casos foram precedidos por exodontias ou trauma por próteses mal adaptadas e houve predileção pela mandíbula posterior (54%). A OMMB deve se considerada uma sequência importante da terapia com bisfosfonatos e sua associação com manipulação ou trauma ósseo prévio reforça a necessidade de seu conhecimento por parte do cirurgião-dentista.
