[The importance interdisciplinary cooperation in the prevention of radiation osteomyelitis of the jaws].
A case-history of radioosteomyelitis of the mandible, treated at the department of maxillofacial surgery which developed in a patient irradiated on account of carcinoma of the base of the mouth. Before therapy the appropriate preventive provisions were not made. The authors emphasize that before irradiation of malignant tumours of the oral cavity and pharynx a stomatologist should be consulted. Radioosteomyelitis may be, after in other respects successful antitumourous treatment, equally dangerous for the patient as the basic neoplastic disease.
