Additionally, throughout the literature, there is little consideration
given to the wide range of complications that patients’ enendure
from radiation therapy such as trismus, loss of taste,
xerostomia, etc. It is clear that the treatment of ORN will not result
in significant improvement in these additional conditions, hence,
quality of life for a patient with ORN can be difficult to improve
even with the successful treatment of ORN. Future studies should
address the problem of disease progression and functional outcomes
should be assessed with respect to dental rehabilitation, relief
of trismus, improvement in oral intake, and pain relief.
