    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Oncology
    • Radiotherapy

    Background:

    • Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a severe complication following radiotherapy for head and neck cancers.
    • Maxillary ORN presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management.
    • Understanding the pathophysiology of ORN is essential for preventative strategies.

    Observation:

    • A case of osteoradionecrosis affecting the maxilla is presented.
    • The patient's history involved radiotherapy treatment for cancer.
    • Clinical examination revealed characteristic signs of ORN.

    Findings:

    • The presented case illustrates the potential for significant morbidity associated with maxillary ORN.
    • Discussion includes the differential diagnosis between osteomyelitis and osteoradionecrosis.
    • Radiographic findings are consistent with bone death and infection secondary to radiation.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the critical need for meticulous dental care in cancer patients receiving radiotherapy.
    • Emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists and dental specialists.
    • Suggests that proactive dental interventions can mitigate the risk and severity of ORN.
