Saturday, September 20, 2025

Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) presents numerous challenges for clinicians in managing oral healthcare needs and may have a broad health impact for patients with a history of radiation therapy. There are controversies related to the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, pentoxifylline and dental implants. This case-based session will review evidence-based data and innovative strategies for diagnosis, risk assessment, prevention and management of ORN with related outcomes and complications.

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
  1. Discuss contemporary management strategies for the prevention of ORN in patients with a history of radiation therapy.
  2. Describe risk factors for ORN.
  3. Understand management strategies for early ORN.
  4. Identify management strategies for dental implant surgery in patients with a history of head and neck cancer.
