Osteoporosis is the most common systemic skeletal disease worldwide. Its consequences have a substantial impact on the quality of life of patients and increases the overall morbidity and mortality. Standardized diagnostic procedures and treatment recommendations have been available for years as German and international (S3) guidelines. Nevertheless, there is a considerable gap in the diagnosis and adequate treatment of osteoporosis, especially in Germany. The aim is to detect the disease at an early stage and to establish a specific and consistent treatment of osteoporosis. In this way the quality of life and independence of those affected can be maintained over a long period. In the acute and permanent treatment of manifest osteoporosis, surgeons, orthopedic and trauma surgeons play a key role., (© 2023.

Drug-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw represents a relatively new, multifactor-induced disease. Diseases with increased bone resorption are widely treated with antiresorptive drugs. Due to the active bone metabolism, especially in the lower jaw, it can lead to osteonecrosis if the barrier function in the oral cavity is impaired and it may be complicated by systemic comorbidities depending on duration, intensity, and application of antiresorptive therapy. Due to the special influence of these changes on the quality of life and because of the complex therapy management, the early detection and determination of the extent of the lesion(s) by imaging is of particular importance. The orthopantomography (panoramic radiography) of the jaw provides a good basic examination, especially for the detection of dental causes as a possible differential diagnosis. Three-dimensional imaging techniques such as computed tomography and in particular magnetic resonance imaging can detect bone changes much more sensitively and detect the manifestation of complex pathologies in higher stages of disease.
