Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Osteoradionecrosis is associated with the direct effect of radiation therapy on oral tissues. Radiation results in narrowing of the blood vessels that supply the bone, and it permanently destroys cells that create new bone, resulting in the risk of necrosis following surgical insult or trauma to the bone. Chemotherapy does not have a direct or indirect effect on the bone. Bleeding can result from the development of oral lesions. Mucositis results from the toxic effect on oral mucosa from chemotherapeutic drugs. Infection can result from myelosuppression or a lowered immune response.
