Imaging Findings of Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws: A Critical Review of the Quantitative Studies
Figure 2
Imaging findings of a 57-year-old woman with metastatic breast carcinoma receiving intravenous zoledronic acid. (a) Panoramic radiograph showing maxillary involvement with radiographic evidence of osteolysis (gray arrow). (b) and (c) axial and cross-sectional CBCT views, respectively, showing the necrotic area with bone sequestrum in the left maxilla (gray arrow). (d) Axial CBCT image showing the extent of mandible bone involvement with periosteal bone reaction. The periosteal bone reaction changed the mandibular morphology, as it can be seen in the two-dimensional multiplanar reconstruction image ((e), white arrow) and in the 3D images (frontal view (f) and sagittal view (g)).
