Health | Side effects of radiation therapy to the head and neck may be noted as early as the first week. The potentially devastating occurrence of osteoradionecrosis in the irradiated patient has yet to be widely addressed in terms of multicenter, collaborative studies. (references) | |
The oral complications of radiotherapy to the salivary glands, oral mucosa, oral musculature, and/or alveolar bone include growth and developmental abnormalities, xerostomia, rampant dental caries, mucositis, taste loss, osteoradionecrosis, infection, dermatitis, and trismus. (references) | ||
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN), a relatively uncommon clinical event, is a consequence of hypovascularity, the cytotoxic effects of radiation on bone-forming cells and tissue, and is associated with hypoxia of the affected bone. As a consequence, when bone is injured, it is unable to heal and becomes susceptible to secondary infection. (references) | ||
