Lesions of the jaws.
Jaw lesions are relatively common findings on imaging studies of the lower face. The intent of this article is to present an approach to the diagnosis of lesions involving the maxilla and mandible based on their radiographic appearance and location. The radiographic and computed tomographic appearances of a number of lesions occurring in the maxilla and mandible are presented.
