## Abstract ## Background An analysis of risk factors predictive of severe mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is needed to aid prophylaxis and management of this condition. ## Methods We retrospectively analyzed 46 patients diagnosed between June 2002 and March 2009: 93% had mandibular ORN, whi
Involvement of large areas of the mandible or the entire mandible with osteoradionecrosis may result in severe functional disability and cosmetic deformity. The use of a well-vascularized pectoralis major myocutdneous flap from outside the original field of irradiation has been successful in obtaini
## Abstract ## Background. This study was done to determine if pre‐radiotherapy (pre‐RT) dental extractions reduce the risk of osteoradionecrosis (ORN). ## Methods. Between 1987 and 2004, 413 patients with oropharyngeal carcinomas were treated with definitive RT at the University of Florida. Den
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
