Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / January 2005Need information about hyperbaric treatment to prevent osteoradionecrosis
My brother had radiation therapy for a tongue cancer. He is now faced with having an abcessed tooth extracted. Obviously the big concern is osteoradionecrosis and he has heard that hyperbaric treatments before and after the extraction may reduce the possiblity that osteoradionecrosis would occur. Which medical facility/doctor/dentist in the US has the most advanced development and success of this treatment? My brother is willing to travel to get the best care that will reduce his chances of getting osteoradionecrosis. Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated >My brother had radiation therapy for a tongue cancer. He is now faced >with having an abcessed tooth extracted.

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated If your looking to research the topic, google Dr. Robert Marx and hyperbaric oxygen. Depending where your brother lives, there may be a facility in a neighboring hospital. HBO therapy is used for alot of things. Practicing in Wilmington Delaware means I send my patients to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Good luck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David A.
