    A case of herpes zoster involving the ophthalmic and maxillary divisions of the trigeminal nerve is reported. It presented as a oral herpes zoster infection with prodromal odontalgia and progressed to spontaneous exfoliation and devitalization of teeth and osteonecrosis of the maxilla. The literature is reviewed and the pathophysiology of tooth exfoliation, tooth devitalization and osteonecrosis by V-Z viruses are discussed in addition to the management of herpes zoster and post-zoster complications.
