Osteonecrosis (ONJ) of the head and neck is a spectrum of bone damaging disease and is preventable in many cases. Although commonly due to adverse sequelae of radiotherapy, bisphosphonate use has been recently implicated as an independent risk factor. Tissue hypoxia, hypovascularity, and hypocellularity occur. Osteoclast function, as well as collagen synthesis and production are impaired, which can lead to a nonhealing wound. This course will discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutic modalities (medical and surgical) to prevent and treat ONJ.
