Abstract

Recently, after reviewing the online journal, Journal of the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons , we found a recently published original article by Manzano et al., entitled, “Retrospective study of osteoradionecrosis in the jaws of patients with head and neck cancer”. Although this original article was well written and provided a great deal of information regarding osteoradionecrosis in the jaws, we would like to add a few additional recommendations based on our small concerns and recently updated articles.
