It most often involves the mandible (lower jaw), but it can affect the maxilla (upper jaw) as well. The term is commonly used in dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and oncology to describe a specific radiation-related bone complication. In plain terms, it means \u201cradiation-associated death of bone\u201d with delayed or absent healing."}
