“…Watanabe et al (2017) reported that the bone scan index of the jaw was significantly higher in patients who developed ONJ than in those who did not, 3 months before the diagnosis of ONJ, underlining its value as a new prognostic index. More advanced imaging procedures like computed tomography (which can evaluate the radiodensity of necrotic bone) (Hamada, Matsuo, Koizumi, Satomi, & Chikazu, 2014), and cone beam computed tomography, are considered superior to established panoramic radiography, and represent a potential additional tool to assist surgical management of ONJ (Guggenberger et al, 2014;Kammerer et al, 2016).
