Abstract
Radiotherapy is an important treatment of oral and maxillofacial malignancies. Among the various effects of this locoregional therapy, osteoradionecrosis (ORN) plays a prominent role due to its physical and psychological impact on cancer patients. In the literature, the therapeutic approach of ORN varies from a conservative to invasive surgery treatment. Objective: collect in the scientific literature, concise and current information about the benefits of using these therapies in the ORN. The present literature review selected articles based on the titles that addressed osteoradionecrosis treatment, as well as the evaluation systems adopted. After previous analysis, 22 relevant articles were included on the proposed theme. According to the literature, several hypotheses have been established to explain the etiopathogenesis of ORN, as numerous evaluation systems have been developed in the last years. Regarding the main therapeutic modalities used, new less invasive therapies have acquired space, such as ozone therapy, laser therapy associated with photodynamic therapy and drugs, such as vitamin, antifibrotic and anti-resorptive. However, in spite of the promising results, new randomized clinical trials have to be performed in an attempt to discover the real effectiveness of these therapies in the ORN. Therefore, it becomes a challenging issue for dental surgeons, since it requires the constant monitoring and long term of these patients, due to the risk of progression or recurrence of this condition.

Keywords: Radiotherapy. Osteoradionecrosis. Conservative Treatment. Ozone. Photochemotherapy.

Resumo
A radioterapia compreende um tratamento importante no tratamento de tumores malignos orais e maxilofaciais. Dentre os diversos efeitos oriundos desta terapia locoregional, a osteorradionecrose (ORN) apresenta um papel de destaque devido ao seu impacto físico e psicológico ao paciente oncológico. A abordagem terapêutica da ORN pode variar do tratamento conservador ao tratamento invasivo através da cirurgia. Objetivo coletar na literatura científica informações concisas e atuais acerca dos benefícos do uso dessas terapias na ORN. A presente revisão narrativa de literatura teve a seleção de artigos com base nos títulos que abordaram as terapias empregadas na osteorradionecrose, bem como os sistemas de avaliação adotados. Após análise prévia, foram incluídos 39 artigos relevantes sobre a temática proposta. De acordo com a literatura, várias hipóteses foram estabelecidas para explicar a etiopatogenia da ORN, assim como inúmeros sistemas de avaliação foram desenvolvidos nos últimos anos. Com relação as principais modalidades terapêuticas empregadas, novas terapias menos invasivas têm adquirido espaço, a exemplo da ozonioterapia, laserterapia associada à terapia fotodinâmica e medicamentos antioxidantes, antifibróticos e antireabsortivos. Todavia, apesar dos resultados promissores, novos ensaios clínicos precisam ser realizados, para se descobrir a real eficácia dessas terapias na ORN. Portanto, torna-se uma questão desafiadora para os Cirurgiões dentistas, uma vez que requer o monitoramento constante e a longo prazo desses pacientes, devido ao risco de progressão ou recidiva desta afecção.
