Radiographic Features of Systemic Disease in Jaws

With the present widespread use of the dental roentgenogram has come an increased opportunity to observe abnormalities of the teeth and their supporting structures which are attributable to systemic disease. As a result, there have been increased understanding and knowledge as to both the recognition and significance of these abnormalities. Hence the dental care professionals should be aware that a dental abnormality could be the first radiographic evidence of a previously undiagnosed systemic condition, the early recognition and treatment of which may modify the course or reduce the severity of the underlying disease and thus render a profound service to the patient.
