Herpes Zoster is an acute viral infection characterized by the appearance of vesicles that occur on the skin and mucous membrane along the pathway of an involved sensory nerve. Although Herpes zoster is usually as benign viral infection, complications may occur especially when cranial nerves are involved. There are few reports of bony and dental complications by Herpes Zoster infection, all of which were isolated in a single quadrant. These include devitalized teeth, abnormal development of permanent teeth, internal resoption and spontaneous exfoliation of teeth with osteonecrosis of the alveolar bone. No agreement has been reached concerning the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis and tooth exfoliation associated with herpes zoster infection. We recently experienced series of maxillary osteonecrosis and spontaneous teeth exfoliation in patients with Herpes Zoster infection and present two cases with review of literature.
