Dental extraction, intensity-modulated radiotherapy of head and neck cancer, and osteoradionecrosis

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Tooth extraction before IMRT is more common than after IMRT, but dental extractions before compared to extractions after IMRT have not been proven to reduce the incidence of ORN. Extractions of teeth before IMRT have to be balanced with any potential delay in initiating cancer therapy.
