What conditions led up to your ficus bonsai losing its leaves?

Here is an article that discusses why ficus tree lose their leaves and courses of treatment:

If none of the information in the above article resonates with you, then I would examine your tree's root system to determine if it has become pot-bound (if so, re-pot in larger pot) and to see if it still has a healthy root system. Examine the roots for signs of rot, such as discoloration and a mushy texture. If there is evidence of rot you will want to prune away the damaged roots and re-pot your ficus in fresh soil.

Additionally, I would read the following article for a refresher on ficus care and make sure you are doing everything right:
