Management of osteoradionecrosis of the jaws with pentoxifylline –tocopherol: a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis

Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaws remains among the most commonly encountered and challenging complications of radiotherapy to the head and neck. The purpose of this study was to provide a review of the medical management for ORN and evaluate the reported outcomes with the use of pentoxifylline and tocopherol (PENTO), by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis. The predictor variable was the use of PENTO in the treatment of ORN. The outcome variable was the proportion of full recovery or significant improvement not requiring further intervention.
