Abstract
Biagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial diseases. While not commonly used in
everyday dental practice, the dental provider should have a conversational
knowledge of these imaging modalities and understand the indications
and limitations of these studies. The purpose of this review is to discuss
the nuclear medicine studies that have applications in the head and neck
region as well as their indications, limitations, and diagnostic conclusions
that can be drawn from these studies.1
