Long-term changes in mandibular bone microchemical quality after radiation therapy and underlying systemic malignancy: A pilot study

Radiation therapy (RT) is a treatment option for head and neck cancer (HNC), but 2% of RT patients may experience damage to the jawbone, resulting in osteoradionecrosis (ORN). The ORN can manifest years after RT exposure. Changes in the local microchemical bone quality prior to the clinical manifest...
