Abstract

Risk factors for development of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw in patients with oral or oropharyngeal cancer who underwent radiotherapy between 2008 and 2017 at six hospitals were analyzed by Cox’s proportional hazard model. Periapical lesion, severer periodontal disease, and higher serum creatinine level significantly increased the risk of ORN, whereas IMRT and tooth extraction before RT significantly decreased the risk. Tooth extraction after RT seemed to increase the risk of ORN, though not significantly. It is necessary to establish a method for preventing ORN in future.
