This study is looking at whether custom-made 3D printed oral stents can help reduce mouth sores and blisters for people with head and neck cancer who are receiving radiation therapy. These stents are made to fit your mouth and cover your teeth and gums during treatment. You might be eligible if you are 18 or older, have head and neck cancer, and are scheduled to receive 5-7 weeks of radiation therapy, with or without chemotherapy. The study aims to see if using these stents lowers the rate of mucositis (mouth sores) and to understand how they affect your comfort and pain medication use. About 119 people are expected to join this study, but its current status is unclear.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 119 participants and will randomly assign them to either wear a 3D printed oral stent during radiotherapy or receive standard care without the stent.
