Multivariate analysis identified mandibular V50 (HR\u2009=\u20091.05, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0015) and post-RT dental extractions (HR\u2009=\u20092.51, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001) as significant ORN risk factors, while age was protective (HR\u2009=\u20090.96, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.047). A V50 cutoff of 25.4\u00a0cm\u00b3 was most predictive (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0016).
