Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy is effective in the treatment of osteoradionecrosis (late complication of radiation therapy) of the jaw.
Detailed Description: Damage to the lower jaw as a late complication of radiation therapy (osteoradionecrosis (ORN)) is often seen in patients treated with radiation therapy for a tumor in the head and neck region. Part of the lower jaw becomes non-vital and has to be treated. ORN proofs to be a condition difficult to treat and the treatment for this condition varies.

In many countries hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is added to the surgical treatment of ORN. Unfortunately there is no consensus whether the addition of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to the treatment of ORN is beneficial or not. This study has the aim to investigate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of HBOT in the treatment of ORN.
