ABSTRACT
This chapter presents current concepts regarding oral and facial prosthetic rehabilitation and oral oncologic principles in patients with head and neck cancer. Multidisciplinary therapeutic techniques are commonly used in the care of patients with advanced disease of the head and neck. The surgical technique is used to eliminate local disease and aid in the preservation of function, mobility, and physical appearance. Hence, collaboration and team efforts between the head and neck surgeon, plastic reconstructive surgeon, maxillofacial prosthodontist, speech pathologists, and other vital members are important in improving a patient’s quality of life.
