Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible is a severe complication that follows ionizing radiation therapy in patients undergoing treatment for head and neck cancers. The occurrence of ORN usually implies other coexisting problems and should not be thought of as a "bone only" defect. For treatment to be effective, all tissues involved must be addressed.
