Keywords:
Osteoradionecrosis, jaw, pathophysiology, vascular, progressionAbstract
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw is a debilitating radiotherapy complication that is identifiedby impaired bone healing, a lack of vascularity, and a lack of cells. This study was conducted totest the contribution of vascular-bone coupling disruption to the pathophysiology and progression of ORN.
