description Pain is a problematic symptom in patients with osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ). Effective pain management in patients with advanced ONJ still remains an unresolved issue. This case series report presents three patients who were referred to the pain clinic for treatment of intractable pain caused by ONJ. Two patients received mandibular nerve blocks and achieved pain relief. After referral to the pain clinic, these two patients underwent segmental mandibulectomy for ONJ. In the third patient, the effect of pain control was limited. Appropriate cooperation between the oral and maxillofacial surgeon and the pain specialist is essential for pain management in patients with advanced ONJ who experience intense pain.
