The aim of this review is to establish the usefulness and effectiveness of using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) lesions. A review of the literature was performed using keywords through the PubMed-Medline and Cochrane Library search engine. Inclusion criteria were: (1) original publication in either the French or the English language, (2) studies conducted in humans, (3) presence of ORN lesions following head and neck radiotherapy (RT), (4) use of PRF or derivates in the treatment of ORN lesions, (5) clinical variables and outcomes mentioned in the study. Overall, four case reports were retained. Two publications were removed from the initial seven results after application of the inclusion criteria. A recent randomised clinical trial was not considered since the group analysed the effectiveness of leukocyte-enriched Plasmas-Rich-Fibrin (LPRF) in preventing ORN, but not in treating it. Therefore, four publications were retained for analysis. Results suggest that using PRF as an adjunct to surgical therapy is beneficial in treating ORN lesions although no controlled studies were found. Therefore, additional controlled clinical studies are warranted to better define the effectiveness and recommendation of this approach.

Article Synopsis
- Patients treated with both antiresorptive medication and radiotherapy in the head and neck are at increased risk for developing complications such as jaw necrosis, fractures, and recurrence of conditions.
- The study involved 17 patients who were compared to larger control groups, revealing significant differences in outcomes, with those receiving combined treatment facing higher risks.
- The findings suggest that the combination of these treatments leads to a four-fold increase in recurrence risk and a higher likelihood of serious complications compared to patients receiving just one type of treatment.
Role of Photodynamic Therapy in Osteonecrosis and Osteoradionecrosis of the Jaws: A Systematic Review.
J Maxillofac Oral Surg

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, ESIC Dental College and Hospital, Kalaburagi, Karnataka India.
Aim: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment modality that has been used clinically for early stage and inoperable cancers. Successful use of this atraumatic therapy in osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ) has been documented in the literature. The aim of this review was to systematically evaluate the role of photodynamic therapy in ORN and ONJ.
