Abstract:
A technique has been described for fabrication of a radiation therapy stent that can help to stabilize the head when adjustable alignment devices are used to position a patient during radiation therapy. The technique can save time for the radiotherapist, enhance accuracy in treatment, increase patient comfort, and save the dentist time in stent fabrication.
