Osteoradionecrosis of the mandible is seen in patients with previous radiotherapy for head and neck cancers. The changes maybe complicated by infection or  a pathological fracture.

Bisphosphonate therapy is also associated with mandibular osteonecrosis. Mandibular osteomyelitis can give a similar radiological appearance.
