INTRODUCTION
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaws is a complication
of radiotherapy used for the treatment of head and neck
malignancy
There are numerous denitions of ORN and, likewise,
many classication systems have been proposed
What is common to all these denitions is the presence of
devitalized or necrotic bone in an irradiated eld, in
the absence of neoplastic disease
Fig 1. Common variables found in both the denition and classication of osteoradionecrosis
INTRODUCTION
Harriss denition is one commonly used by surgeons in
which irradiated bone becomes devitalised and
exposed through the overlying skin or mucosa,
persisting without healing for 3 months in the
absence of tumour recurrence.
CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMS
Notanis classication :
Stage I ORN is conned to alveolar bone,
Stage II ORN is limited to the alveolar bone and/or
above the level of the inferior alveolar canal
Stage III ORN is under the lower part of the inferior
alveolar canal, with stula or bone fracture

The incidence of ORN reported in the literature ranges
widely from 2 to 22%.
Factors that affect the development of ORN :
> Systemic include immunodeciency, malnutrition,
peripheral vascular disease, alcohol and tobacco
misuse.
> Local features include the size and site of the
tumour, xerostomia and also the presence of a
neglected dentition with poor oral hygiene

Radiation-induced Osteomyelitis Theory
> Clinical observation that ORN was a manifestation
of exposure of bone to a critical dose of
radiotherapy with local injury and subsequent
infection
> This theory of secondary infection due to local
injury of devitalised bone, or radiation induced
osteomyelitis, was popularised by Meyer

Hypoxia, Hypocellular and Hypovascular Theory
> Marx challenged this old theory with a new
pathophysiological concept
> Marx found that the composition of
microorganisms in ORN were not typical to those
in osteomyelitis of long bones represent oral
commensal colonization or contamination, rather than
infection
> A critical observation in Marxs work was the
presence of hypoxia in previously irradiated tissue

Hypoxia, Hypocellular and Hypovascular Theory
> He concluded that ORN was a contamination of
radiation-induced metabolically and haemostatically
decient tissue in his hypoxic-hypocellularhypovascular theory
> This theory proposes that after radiotherapy a
sequence of events leads to the breakdown of cellular
and extracellular tissue, mainly collagen, which exceeds
synthesis and replication
> This loss of reparative and synthetic function causes a
chronic non healing wound with metabolic demands

Fibroatrophic Theory
> Delanian and Lefaix radiation-induced brosis of
both soft and hard tissue was thought to result in chronic
nonhealing wounds in previously irradiated bone.
> Fibroblast activation and dysregulation is the
cornerstone of this theory
> Endothelial cell injury occurs directly from radiation
and indirectly from the free radical or reactive oxygen
species (ROS) generation
Fibroatrophic Theory
> Subsequent cytokine production triggers an acute
inammatory response and generates further production
of ROS from inamatory cells
> Endothelial injury with small vessel thrombosis leads
to necrosis, ischaemia and tissue injury with further
cytokine production. Ultimately these cytokines
stimulate the transdifferentiation of broblasts into
myobroblasts and include broblast growth factor ,
TGF1, TNF and interleukins
> This activation results in a brotic pattern of tissue
turnover with greater proliferation and production of
abnormal extracellular matrix
MANAGEMENT
Prevention
Head and neck cancer patients are now recommended
to have a restorative dental opinion before treatment
and any necessary extractions are carried out well in
advance of any radiotherapy
Indications for extraction include teeth with serious
dental disease or where the future prognosis is in
doubt
The role of HBOT and antimicrobial therapy has been
explored, with Marx et al
MANAGEMENT
Conservative or Simple Surgical Management of Early
Disease
reserved for symptom-free or mildly symptomatic
patients with early or moderate disease (Notani
1&2)
sequestrectomy or saucerisation
Surgical Management of Advanced Disease
Surgical resection and reconstruction with free
tissue transfer
CONCLUSION
ORN is a devastating complication of radical head and neck
radiotherapy
Newer radiotherapy techniques may reduce incidence
through reduced xerostomia and respect for the mandible
as an organ at risk
Dental prevention strategies are also more widely
mandated
There is no established standard of care for ORN
