The Patient Care During Before Radiotherapy in Oral Cavity Cancer

구강내 종양환자의 방사선 치료시의 Patient Care

All patients who will Undergo irraidiation of the oral cavity cancer will need dental before and during Radiotherapy. The extent of the region and the presence of numerous critical normal tissues(mucosa, gingiva, teeth and the alveolar ridge, alveolar bony structure, etc) in the oral cavity area, injury to which could result in serious functional impairment. Therefore I evaluate the Usefulness of custom-made intraoral shielding device before and during Radiotherapy in oral cavity cancer. Materials and Methods(1) : Manufacture process of Custom-made intraoral shielding device Containing Cerroband. A. Acquisition of impression B. Matrix Constitution C. Separation by Separator D. Sprincle on method E. Trimming F. Spacing G. Fill with Cerroband Materials and Methods (2) A. Preannealing B. TLD Set up C. Annealing D. TLD Reading = Results = Therefore dosimetric characteristics in oral cavity by TLD Compared to isodose curve dose distribution Ipsilateral oral mucosa, Contralateral oral mucosa, alveolar ridge, tongue, dose was reduced by intraoral shielding device containning Cerroband technique Compard to isodose plan = Conclusions = The custom-made intra-oral shielding device containing Cerroband was useful in reducing the Contralateral oral mucosa dose and Volume irradiated.
