Incidence of, and risk factors for, mandibular osteoradionecrosis in patients with oral cavity and oropharynx cancers

Oral Oncology Aug 17, 2017

Moon DH, et al. – This study was designed to determine the incidence of, and risk factors associated with, mandibular osteoradionecrosis (MORN) following radiation therapy (RT) for oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers. Data revealed that the incidence of MORN was low in the modern era at a high volume academic center.
