- Abstract
Several reports have suggested that sclerotic changes in cancellous bone of the jaw and thickening of the lamina dura are characteristic radiographic changes of an early silent stage of bisphosphonate (BP)-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. No quantitative evaluation has been reported to support this hypothesis. Emago(®) software (Oral Diagnostic Systems, Amsterdam, Netherlands) can perform digital subtraction on intraoral radiographs even if they were obtained by non-standardized radiography, provided the dimensional error is within a certain limit. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether sclerotic changes of alveolar bone or thickening of lamina dura in patients using BP can be detected using the subtraction function of Emago.
