Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) is commonly associated with pharmacological agents like bisphosphonates. However, osteonecrosis can also develop due to other etiologies, including dental trauma and infections. This case report describes osteonecrosis in a 26-year-old male patient who underwent simultaneous implant placement and surgical tooth extraction. The absence of systemic diseases or medication history highlights the role of dental trauma and impaired healing in osteonecrosis development. Management included surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy, consistent with Stage 2 osteonecrosis guidelines. The case emphasizes the importance of minimizing trauma during dental procedures to prevent osteonecrosis, even in younger patients.
