Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: I-zoledronic acid (ZA, n = 10); II-ZA and teriparatide (ZA + TP, n = 10); III-control (n = 10). Osteonecrosis was induced by administering zoledronic acid to groups ZA and ZA + TP.
A week after the injections, rats underwent extraction of the first left mandibular molar. Following a four week period, TP was administered to the ZA + TP group for 28 days.
