Workshop #3

 

Workshop Title:  Basics of Radiation Therapy and Oral Sequalae: Management of Head and Neck Irradiated Patient

 

Room Location and Attendance: Riverside 7 room - Attendance limited to 50.  Registration and attendance is on "first to pay" basis.  Register early to ensure attendance

 

Special requirements for the above workshop: none

 

Description of Workshop: Oral cancer is one of the most prevalent and devastating conditions in the world.  From the World Health Organization Report 2004, oral cancer is considered to be the sixth leading cancer in the world and is considered the third leading cancer in South East Asia. Oral cancer exhibits not only mortality but also morbidity to patient populations acquired from both surgical and cancer conjunctive therapies. Squamous cell carcinoma is considered to occur in 96 percent of oral cancers.  The other four percent is comprised of sarcomas.

 

It is inevitable to avoid the effects caused by radiation therapy of the head and neck region.  Even though surgical removal of the tumor seems to have a good success rate, additional radiation therapy is also widely used in this group of patients.

 

A team approach is crucial for successful therapy and long term follow-up for head and neck cancer patients.  The effect of radiation exhibits multiple hard and soft tissue complications.  There are multiple modalities to treat and manage in this group of head and neck irradiated patients.  This workshop will further expand on these topics.

Workshop #4

Workshop Title:  Functional Assessment and Treatment Outcomes in Intra-oral Rehabilitation

Room Location and Attendance: Riverside 6 room - Attendance limited to 50.  Registration and attendance is on "first to pay" basis.  Register early to ensure attendance

Special requirements for the above workshop: none

Description of Workshop:  The intent of this workshop will be to provide the participants with an overview of current techniques for functional outcomes assessment related to speech, chewing, swallowing, and quality of life in patients who have defects of the maxilla / soft palate, and the mandible.  The workshop will be delivered in two parts.  First, indications for the use of a series of functional outcomes assessment methods, as well as a critique of these methods, will be provided.  Second, a prosthodontic perspective related to intra-oral rehabilitation will be presented.  This will include discussion of the role of the prosthodontist in the rehabilitation of disorders of the maxilla/soft palate and mandible.  Specific patient cases will include: 1) rehabilitation of the palatopharyngeal complex with the use of nasopharyngoscopy as a tool to achieve superior functional outcomes; 2) rehabilitation of patients with disorders of the tongue that prevent normal tongue-palate contact (palatal augmentation prostheses); and 3) quality of life results related to rehabilitation of the mandible; including the use of implant-supported prostheses.
