Customized 3D Printed Oral Stents During Head and Neck Radiotherapy (NCT04870762)
A Randomized Study of Head and Neck Radiotherapy With or Without Customized 3D Printed Oral Stents
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This clinical trial studies the effect of customized 3 dimensional (3D) printed oral tents on patients with head and neck cancer who are receiving radiotherapy. Oral stents are made from the impression of patients' mouth and cover patients' teeth and gums during radiation therapy. A customized, 3D-printed oral stent may help to reduce mouth blisters and/or sores that may develop in patients while receiving head and neck radiation therapy.
