| Popis: | Summary Dental management of the patient with cancer, especially when the disease process involves the head and neck region, should be an integral part of the patient's overall treatment plan. By utilizing the team approach and detailed advance planning, stressing both immediate treatment to control the patient's disease and short- and long-term rehabilitation, the best possible treatment for each patient can be formulated with a minimum of posttreatment complications. If an institution is to make the commitment to treat patients with cancer, a comprehensive dental support program with a maxillofacial prosthodontist is a necessity. As the benefits of a dental department are recognized, the utilization of this service increases and the overall treatment and rehabilitation of the patient with cancer is improved. |
