Abstract

Osteonecrosis occurs by cellular death of the bone tissue due to an irreversible external factor. This disorder may be clinically unidentified in the early stages and result in degradation of the bone architectural structure, leading to pain, bone destruction, and loss of function. Thus, imaging exams become relevant to the recognition and definition of the bone necroses. The aim of this study was to review the literature on imaging exams frequently used for the diagnosis and evaluation of patients undergoing drug therapies associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw, such as panoramic radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and bone scintigraphy.
