Özet

© 2021 Ondokuz Mayis Universitesi. All rights reserved.Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a common complication of the bisphosphonates and other anti-resorptive drugs which are mainly used for osteoporosis, malignancy related hypercalcemia and distant bone metastases. While some imaging modalities are not successful at detecting Stage 0 MRONJ patients, some modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), can detect early MRONJ lesions. Early diagnosed MRONJ lesions are relatively easier to maintain and treat; thus, early diagnosis plays huge role in treatment. In this review main imaging modalities which are used in dentistry were evaluated regarding MRONJ.
