This article discusses the potential association between osteonecrosis of the jaw and the use of corticosteroids in COVID-19 patients. The authors present a case study of a 65-year-old woman who developed osteonecrosis after receiving corticosteroid therapy for COVID-19. They suggest that there may be a correlation between the use of corticosteroids and the development of osteonecrosis, but further research is needed to understand this relationship. The article emphasizes the importance of sharing clinical information related to the care of COVID-19 patients treated with corticosteroids and calls for large prospective trials to investigate the risk factors and pathophysiology of this condition.
