Former occupational disease caused by radium, resulting in deformation of the jawbones
The American journal of roentgenology, radium therapy and nuclear medicine (1906)
Radium jaw, or radium necrosis, is a historic occupational disease brought on by the ingestion and subsequent absorption of radium into the bones of radium dial painters.[1][2] It also affected those consuming radium-laden patent medicines.
The condition is similar to phossy jaw, an osteoporotic and osteonecrotic illness of matchgirls, brought on by phosphorus ingestion and absorption.
