Saved… the jaws that are wrecked by radiotherapy | Daily Mail Online

In December 2020, Dr Patel published the largest study yet into the use of Pentoclo for osteoradionecrosis. The study of more than 100 patients on the drug found that in over 80 per cent of them, bone deterioration was halted.   Stunningly, for 56 per cent the damage was reversed, as a renewed supply of blood allowed the bone to heal and regain structure. In some cases, jaw bones that had completely broken off were restored.
