Pilot investigation on the dose-dependent impact of irradiation on primary human alveolar osteoblasts in vitro

Abstract Radiotherapy of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma can lead to long-term complications like osteoradionecrosis, resulting in severe impairment of the jawbone. Current standard procedures require a 6-month wait after irradiation before dental reconstruction can begin. A comprehensive char...
