Soft Tissue Radionecrosis
Soft tissue radionecrosis (STRN) refers to the death (necrosi) of soft tissues as a result of exposure to ionizing radiation. It is a counterpart of osteoradionecrosis, which is the death of bone tissue due to radiation. Continue Reading

Osteoradionecrosis
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a condition in which bone tissue dies as a result of radiation exposure. Normally, bone tissue is able to regenerate. It can occur spontaneously, but may be the result of an injury such as tooth extraction or oral surgery. Continue Reading
