Idiopathic osteonecrosis of the jaw in dogs is a rare disease. Research into human osteonecrosis of the jaw has increased considerably in recent years revealing numerous underlying risk factors and comorbidities. The goal of this case series was to evaluate similar risk factors and comorbidities in dogs. The medical records from 10 cases were retrospectively reviewed for patient signalment, diagnostic results and treatment. Most cases had either cone beam or conventional computed tomography performed which allowed a detailed evaluation of maxillofacial structures. In this cohort, lesions had a predilection for the caudal maxilla and ipsilateral zygomatic arch and dental surgery did not always precede development of lesions. More cases and additional diagnostics will be needed to uncover the etiology of this disease.
犬特发性颌骨骨坏死是一种罕见疾病。近年来，对人类颌骨骨坏死的研究显著增加，揭示了众多潜在风险因素和合并症。本病例系列的目的是评估犬类中类似的风险因素和合并症。对10例病例的医疗记录进行回顾性分析，以了解患者的特征、诊断结果和治疗情况。大多数病例都进行了锥形束CT或传统CT检查，从而能够对颌面结构进行详细评估。在这个队列中，病变好发于上颌骨后部和同侧颧弓，并且病变的发生并不总是在牙科手术后。需要更多病例和进一步的诊断来揭示该疾病的病因。
