Management of mandibular osteoradionecrosis corresponding to the severity of osteoradionecrosis and the method of radiotherapy

Abstract

: Conservative management should be limited to early-onset ORN after brachytherapy with or without a low dose of external irradiation. Marginal mandibulectomy is appropriate for the late-onset ORN after brachytherapy with or without low-dose external irradiation. Segmental mandibulectomy is required for late-onset ORN after a high dose of external irradiation.
