Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Prosthodontics
  • Oral Medicine

Background:

  • Head and neck cancer treatment necessitates a multidisciplinary team approach.
  • Maxillofacial prosthetics and oncologic dentistry are integral to patient care throughout treatment phases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the role of maxillofacial prosthetics in rehabilitating patients post-cancer ablation surgery.
  • To emphasize the benefits of specific prosthodontic interventions during chemoradiation therapy for improved outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Application of maxillofacial prostheses for functional rehabilitation (mastication, swallowing, speech) when surgical reconstruction is insufficient.
  • Utilization of jaw positioning stents and fluoride carrier mouthpieces during chemoradiation therapy.

Main Results:

  • Maxillofacial prostheses effectively restore function after ablative surgery, enhancing patient quality of life.
  • Perioperative dental and prosthetic care significantly improves outcomes for patients undergoing chemoradiation.

Conclusions:

  • Maxillofacial prosthetics and oncologic dentistry are essential components of comprehensive head and neck cancer care.
  • Proactive prosthetic interventions improve functional outcomes and patient well-being throughout the cancer treatment journey.
