“…Existing dental prosthesis may be modified to serve as treatment prosthesis or preparation of surgical stents. Thus, an optimum oral environment should be maintained in order to provide freedom from infection and facilitate early recovery of tissues (Davenport, 1996, Jerbi, et al, 1968 Nutritional and psychological assessment and intervention should be included in the protocol.…”

“…Therefore, the goal of treatment is to minimize radiation exposure to nearby normal tissues while maintaining the therapeutic dose to the target. To achieve this goal, maxillofacial prosthodontists collaborate with radiation oncologists in fabricating radiotherapy prostheses, including spacers, shields, carriers, protectors, molds, and custom-made devices [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Purpose: To identify secular trends in the use of radiotherapy prostheses in the Clinic for Maxillofacial Prosthetics at Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital and to ascertain patient characteristics and future needs. Methods:The study included all patients who visited the clinic between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2019. Data on numbers of cases, gender and age, numbers and types of radiotherapy prostheses, primary cancer site, and time required for prosthesis fabrication during the study period were collected from medical records and retrospectively analyzed. Results: During the 20-year study period, 1,066 prostheses were fabricated for 1,135 cases. In most years, at least 60% of cases were male. The mean age increased from 60.6 to 67.1 years during the study period, and the number of cases older than 70 years increased over time. The most common cancer site was the tongue, and the most common type of radiotherapy prosthesis was a spacer. The mean time for spacer fabrication was 11 days. Conclusion:During a recent 20-year period, mean age and the proportion of elderly patients requiring savers increased. When treating elderly patients, prosthodontists responsible for fabricating radiotherapy prostheses must collaborate effectively with radiation oncologists.

O Câncer pode ser tratado através da oncocirurgia, da radioterapia, da criocirurgia, da imunoterapia e da quimioterapia. O que se observa é o crescente emprego das emanações na terapêutica exclusiva ou complementar do tratamento cirúrgico, tanto no pré como no pós-operatório. Os autores salientam a importância do cirurgião-dentista especializado em Prótese Buco-Maxilo-Facial trabalhar na equipe de radioterapia, pois poderá auxiliar o radioterapeuta confeccionando aparelhos destinados a orientar as emanações sobre a área a ser irradiada, bem como proteger e afastar os tecidos sãos que não devem receber radiações, através das próteses radíferas. A fim de que os cirurgiões-dentistas se familiarizem com a terminologia utilizada, os autores apresentam um glossário de termos básicos em radioterapia.
