Abstract
Radiation prosthetic stent is defined as the customized oral devices which serve for an efficient administration of radiation dose to the affected areas or a minimizing the unnecessary irradiation to surrounding normal tissues during maxillofacial cancer radiotherapy. Since the use of stents is individualized, a close collaboration among radiotherapist, surgeon and prosthodontist is essential thereby which helps in limiting the post-therapy morbidity as well as the stable oral rehabilitation. In this report, two customized stents (bolus carrier and tongue depressing) were fabricated and applied to patient undergone irradiation for soft palate and tongue carcinoma selectively. Multidisciplinary approach can be a proper strategy and recommended for control the sequel of post-irradiation.
