Objectives: This systematic literature review addresses the use of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) for the evaluation of benign maxillomandibular odontogenic lesions.
Study Design: Databases were searched, and original research studies or case report manuscripts up to April 2019 were included, using the keyword "diffusion," combined with the keywords "maxillofacial pathology," "oral pathology," "odontogenic tumors," "dental tissue neoplasms," "odontogenic cysts," and the histologic denomination of benign odontogenic lesions, according to the World Health Organization classification. Only English language articles and studies pertaining to DWI were selected.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 66 relevant studies, primarily looking at the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), were reviewed to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions.
- * While DWI shows promise in improving salivary gland disease diagnosis, researchers couldn't establish a uniform ADC cutoff value due to variability in methods and disease characteristics.
