Imaging of Radiolucent Jaw Lesions.

摘要: Radiolucent lesions in the jaw bones comprise a whole spectrum of odontogenic and nonodontogenic lesions. Although imaging appearance is not always specific, careful radiologic analysis may contribute to characterization these A useful approach first analyze absence or presence relationship lesion teeth. The relation be either near tooth apex crown tooth. Other show any specific anatomical location. After primary location lesion, additional criteria that help further are demarcation morphology, involvement cortex periosteum, soft tissue changes. This article describes most characteristic prevalent radiolucent jaws at each In routine clinical practice, cone beam computed tomography sufficient for appropriate characterization, although magnetic resonance selected cases.
