title: An innovative design of 2-piece saliva reservoir using precision attachment: a case report.
abstract: Standard head and neck radiotherapy results in serious, often irreversible damage to the major and minor salivary gland tissues. The resultant profound hypo-salivation leads to serious oral health and functional problems that seriously affect oral health-related quality of life. Intra-oral devices with reservoirs have been developed that allow the release of saliva substitute into the mouth. This case report describes an innovative technique for incorporation of saliva reservoir in cast partial denture in patient with post irradiation xerostomia.
