Vitamin D supplementation: hypothetical effect on medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw

Vitamin D is an important nutrient for bone health and skeleton growth. Few foods are natural sources of this secosteroid; this is the reason why the consumption of vitamin D as a dietary supplement is becoming common in developed countries.
