Dental restorations, fixed prosthodontics, and implants affect dose distribution in head and
neck radiation therapy due to the high atomic number of the materials utilized. The …

Dental prostheses made of high density material contribute to modify dose distribution in
head and neck cancer treatment. Our objective is to quantify dose perturbation due to high …

In radiotherapy of the head and neck, metal dentures or implants will increase the risk of
complications such as mucositis and osteoradionecrosis. The aim of this study is to explore …

High atomic number and density of dental implants leads to major problems at providing an
accurate dose distribution in radiotherapy and contouring tumors and organs caused by the …

Occasionally, head and neck cancer patients treated with high-energy X-rays and gamma
rays have titanium dental implants. The aim of this study was to calculate alterations in the …

The presence of dental metals creates radiation dose perturbation due to scattered radiation
during radiation therapy for the head and neck region. The purpose of our study was to …

A Monte Carlo method has been developed for calculating dose distributions within a fluid
phantom irradiated by an external heterogeneous x-ray beam. The method utilized a three …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: During radiotherapy planning high density dental
materials create a major challenge in determining correct dose distribution inside patients …

Statement of Problem. For some patients, radiation treatment is a part of tumor therapy in the
head and neck area before and/or after surgery. The oral cavity and teeth are thereby …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dental implant materials with
different physical densities on dose distribution for head and neck cancer radiotherapy …
