N2 - Custom intraoral radiation devices protect normal tissues, minimizing the adverse effects of radiation therapy. These devices also help immobilize the target by placing the patient's head in a precise, repeatable position. This clinical report describes the fabrication and benefits of a modified mouth opening, tongue depressing radiation stent with bilabial protrusion of the lips that was used in proton radiation therapy for a malignancy of the upper lip.
