Abstract

Customized intraoral devices help the radiation oncologist minimize the adverse effects of radiation and maximize the tumor control rate by keeping the anatomic structures in a consistent position during each fraction of radiation treatment. This article illustrates the fabrication of a bolus-type positioning device for a combined intraoral/extraoral defect treated with proton radiation therapy.
