· J. Prosthet. Dent.; (United States)
An intraoral prosthesis can be used to position and immobilize tissues in beam-directed radiation therapy for cancer. The prosthesis stabilizes oral structures within the treatment field to permit improve control of field size and thus spare tissues that do not require treatment. The use of an oral prosthesis diminishes both early and late complications of radiation treatment. The prostheses can be used to advantage in conjunction with free-hand and precision methods for the orientation of patients.
