They comprise a spectrum of odontogenic and non-odontogenic lesions. The latter group includes inherited and developmental disorders, osteomyelitis, and benign and malignant primary bone tumors and metastases. Most odontogenic radiopaque or mixed lesions are either related to the apex or more rarely to the crown of the tooth, although there are exceptions to this rule. Some lesions, such as a torus mandibularis and torus palatinus, have a characteristic location, whereas others show no relationship to the dentition. This article describes the most characteristic and prevalent radiopaque and mixed lesions of the jaws and their imaging characteristics. Paget's disease, fibrous dysplasia, and rare sclerotic bone diseases of the maxillofacial bones are discussed elsewhere in this issue. Careful correlation of clinical presentation, panoramic radiographs, cone beam computed tomography, and histopathology are the cornerstones for appropriate lesion characterization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0039-3402766","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,9]],"date-time":"2020-10-09T22:31:11Z","timestamp":1602282671000},"page":"558-569","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Imaging of Mixed and Radiopaque Jaw Lesions"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Filip M.","family":"Vanhoenacker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Antwerp University Hospital, Edegem, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Radiology, AZ Sint-Maarten, Mechelen, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Radiology, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frederik","family":"Bosmans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Antwerp University Hospital, Edegem, Belgium"},{"name":"Department of Radiology, AZ Sint-Maarten, Mechelen, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charlotte","family":"Vanhoenacker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University Hospitals Leuven, Leuven, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anja","family":"Bernaerts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, GZA Hospitals, Antwerp, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"06","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1751","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.266055189","article-title":"Radiologic and pathologic characteristics of benign and malignant lesions of the mandible","volume":"26","author":"B L Dunfee","year":"2006","journal-title":"Radiographics"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref2","first-page":"91","article-title":"Tumors and tumor-like lesions of the jaw mixed and radiopaque lesions","volume":"89","author":"A Bernaerts","year":"2006","journal-title":"JBR-BTR"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"335","DOI":"10.1016\/j.crad.2014.10.011","article-title":"A radiological approach to benign and malignant lesions of the mandible","volume":"70","author":"M Harmon","year":"2015","journal-title":"Clin Radiol"},{"issue":"07","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1909","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.327125003","article-title":"Radiopaque jaw lesions: an approach to the differential diagnosis","volume":"32","author":"J K Cur\u00e9","year":"2012","journal-title":"Radiographics"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"352","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-9290.84296","article-title":"Cemento-ossifying fibroma","volume":"22","author":"C More","year":"2011","journal-title":"Indian J Dent Res"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"30","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anorl.2010.06.005","article-title":"Cemento-ossifying fibroma of the mandible","volume":"128","author":"J-P Trijolet","year":"2011","journal-title":"Eur Ann Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Dis"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1259\/dmfr\/96330046","article-title":"Ossifying fibromas of the jaw bone: 20 cases","volume":"39","author":"Y Liu","year":"2010","journal-title":"Dentomaxillofac Radiol"},{"issue":"08","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"495","DOI":"10.1259\/dmfr\/70933621","article-title":"Ossifying fibroma: a systematic review","volume":"38","author":"D S MacDonald-Jankowski","year":"2009","journal-title":"Dentomaxillofac Radiol"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23","DOI":"10.5624\/isd.2011.41.1.23","article-title":"Computed tomographic features of fibrous dysplasia of maxillofacial region","volume":"41","author":"S A Sontakke","year":"2011","journal-title":"Imaging Sci Dent"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101","DOI":"10.1016\/S0033-8389(22)02197-2","article-title":"Imaging of cysts and odontogenic tumors of the jaw.
