When surgical resection of intraoral neoplasms is contraindicated, treatment by surface mold irradiation may be used. Success or failure of this mode of treatment may depend on the fabrication of a surface mold that can deliver the prescribed amount of therapeutic radiation in the desired amount of time. A technique for modification of an existing complete denture prosthesis for use as a surface mold has been described. Patient cooperation is essential for successful use of this modified prosthesis.
