In the diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), imaging may have an important role in determining the
extent of the disease, diagnosing early stages of osteonecrosis, identifying a potential association between
metastasis of the jaw and ONJ lesions, excluding other diseases or complications of the jaws, such as fractures,
and evaluating the jaw before surgical orofacial procedures. Since the appearance of ONJ at imaging is variable
and very often nonspecific, imaging findings should always be related to the clinical context. The panoramic
radiography is the most often used imaging technique in cases of ONJ, whereas CBCT is an adequate tool in
evaluating bone involvement, in addition to offering the advantage that destructive processes can be seen at high
resolution
