The following data will be recorded:

  1. age, gender, initial disease, age at diagnosis, additional diseases
  2. duration and dosage of the bisphosphonate medication (kind of bisphosphonate, age at the beginning of the drug treatment, duration of treatment, frequency of intake, additional medications)
  3. Clinical dental examination was performed for detection of; caries, gingival inflammation and oral hygiene, sequence of dental eruption, teeth extractions, and presence of exposure bone.
  4. Unstimulated whole saliva was collected using the spitting method as previously described. Sialochemistry analysis will be performed.
  5. Serum analysis findings including: calcium (Ca), phosphorous (P), alkaline phosphatase (AlP) and parathyroid hormone (PTH),vitamin D cross-linked telopeptides (ctx, ntx), bone density. (these examination are performed routinely, in these patients, as part of medical follow up.
