Prosthetic procedures in combination with physiotherapeutic procedures in patients with iatrogenic limitation of mandibular movement
Journal Title: Journal of Stomatology (Czasopismo Stomatologiczne) - Year 2018, Vol 71, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract The treatment of cancer in the facial part of the skull and neighboring tissues can lead to an iatrogenic reduction in the extent of mandibular movement. This leads to difficulties in therapy and limitations in function. The aim of the study The aim of the study was to describe cases of prosthetic treatment involving physiotherapy in patients with reduction of mandibular movement as a result of the treatment of head and neck cancer. In every case described here, physiotherapeutic procedures to improve the extent of mandibular retraction were a prerequisite to prosthetic treatment. As a result of manual therapy and regular exercises prescribed by a physiotherapist, mandibular movement increased, which allowed for taking impressions and undertaking prosthetic rehabilitation. Summary Interdisciplinary cooperation, particularly the inclusion of physiotherapeutic procedures, allows for effective rehabilitation of patients who have been affected by the treatment of cancer located in the head and neck region. <br/><br/>
