A tongue-shielding radiation stent
Journal Article
·
· J. Prosthet. Dent.; (United States)
This article describes a simple technique for fabricating stents to protect the lateral border of the tongue during therapeutic radiation therapy delivered to a unilateral region such as used in treating parotid or retromolar trigone lesions. The technique requires materials that are readily available and expertise that is possessed by all dentists. The use of radiation-protective stents markedly minimizes the treatment sequelae from therapeutic irradiation. The use of these protective stents is appreciated by patients and radiation therapists alike.
