Bony disease is typically evident with radiographic examination. Loss of bone mass consistent with osteoporosis is evident on plain dental radiographs, and it is reasonable to expect that anti-resorptive treatment of osteoporosis would lead to changes in radiodensity of structures visible on dental radiographs. Review of a number of radiographs of patients receiving anti-resorptive (bisphosphonate) treatment appears to confirm increased radiodensity of the structures, which may have implications in risk assessment of complications following dental procedures.
骨病通常通过放射学检查即可明显看出。在普通牙科X光片上可明显看到与骨质疏松症相符的骨量流失，因此可以合理推测，骨质疏松症的抗吸收治疗会导致牙科X光片上可见结构的放射密度发生变化。对一些接受抗吸收（双膦酸盐）治疗患者的X光片进行回顾，似乎证实了这些结构的放射密度增加，这可能对牙科手术后并发症的风险评估有影响。
