Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) was defined as exposed, necrotic bone in the maxillofacial region for at least 8 weeks in patients receiving an antiresorptive medication for primary or metastatic bone cancer, osteoporosis, or Paget’s disease, without history of radiation therapy to the jaws [1, 2]. Recently, the AAOMS revised the definition to include exposed bone, or bone that can be probed through an intraoral or extraoral fistula in patients on antiresorptive or antiangiogenic medications [3]. The addition of “probed bone” to the case definition is of clinical significance since frank exposed bone is not always seen, even though it is notably necrotic and radiographically similar.The staging of the disease is based on severity of symptoms and extent of clinical and radiographic findings [3]. The 2009 and 2014 AAOMS position papers outline the disease stages including Stage 0, where there is no frank bone exposure [2, 3]. Chronic exposed, necrotic bone, inflammation, swelling, pain and radiographic changes are some of the more common clinical findings. ONJ can present as subtle, commonly overlooked Stage 0, as exposed bone without any pain or signs of infection (Stage I), as exposed bone with associated infection, pain, swelling (Stage II), or as extensive disease that forms in large segments of the maxilla or mandible with extraoral fistulae, involvement of vital structures, or pathologic fracture (Stage III).
