ABSTRACT
The osteoradionecrosis of the mandible can be a serious complication of radiotherapy for malignancies of the head and neck. The cause and pathogenesis of osteoradionecrosis are unclear and anecdotal. There are various treatment-, patient- and tumor-related risk factors on development of osteoradionecrosis. The treatment of osteoradionecrosis relies on conservative measures (antibiotics, debridement, irrigation and HBO) and surgical measures (sequestrectomy, marginal resection and segmental resection with or without reconstruction). But the indications are not defined. We present the two cases of patients who were not controlled by conservative treatment but good-resulted by surgical treatment.
