Summary, etc. Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw remains one of the most feared late toxicity complications of head and neck radiotherapy (RT). With the introduction of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) many hypothesised the complications would be consigned to the history books based on the ability to deliver more focused and targeted radiation. However, in contrast, the opposite has been seen with ORN still persisting and arguably increasing.
