Objectives: To determine the imaging features of idiopathic osteosclerosis (IO) characteristics of the jaws evaluated cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: 454 CBCT bimaxillary of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, located at the San Isidro, Post in the Dentistry Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, period 2011-2012 was reviewed. The variables sex, age, number, location, size, shape, boundaries, cephalo-caudal position, bucco-lingual position and relation to the tooth of the maxillary IO were analyzed. Results: The frequency was 28.6% of Ios. No differences were found between the percentages of age and sex. The highest percentage was 56.7% the lower molar region. No statistically significant differences between the arches on each side was found. The average size of IOs was 6,84mm ± 3.1. The irregular shape was predominant with 80.3%, and the defined limits with 93.3%. The middle position with the highest percentage was found for both cephalo-caudal position to the bucco-lingual position. With relation to the tooth, were found in 36.5% edentulous area and 33.1% away from the teeth. Conclusion: The imaging features of IOs, to be able to differentiate true bone disease. Furthermore, its high percentage found with respect to frequency, compared to other populations, indicates that specialists involved should take into account during the treatment plan.
