Resumen

Teeth extractions before or after radiotherapy (RT) could be procedures at high risk for osteoradionecrosis (ORN) onset. This systematic review was performed to investigate the ORN incidence following teeth extractions during and after RT for head and neck (H&N) cancer and to evaluate any other possible risk factor. The results highlight how post-RT teeth extractions are a major risk factor for ORN onset (ORN incidence of 5.8%), especially in the mandible, with a diminishing trend in the last years.
