Background. Management of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) remains a difficult and challenging problem. The traditional approach using debridement, antibiotics, and occasionally hyperbaric oxygen is usually successful in treating minimal ORN. However, when bone and soft-tissue necrosis is extensive, the con

Background. The treatment of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and early chronic osteomyelitis (COM) of the mandible and maxilla is controversial. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) at two to three times the atmospheric pressure at sea level can result in tissue oxygen tension of almost 400 mmHg. Herewith HBO increases
