Dentistry has a significant supportive role in the management of head and neck cancer. Early preparations for prosthetic rehabilitation of patients who are in need of maxillary resections, and the use of prostheses in patients who have undergone partial mandibulectomies are explained. Patients being treated by radiation for tumors in the head and neck area require particular preventive care and instructions in oral hygiene. Systemic chemotherapy for tumors distant from the head and neck may precipitate severe oral complications. Occurrence and management of these problems are discussed.

Dental health of the Rendille and Samburu of the northern frontier district of Kenya.

Nomadic groups inhabiting the Kaisut desert region of Kenya were treated and studied during two successive trips. It was found that dental decay was relatively rare and advanced periodontal disease was present mostly in older patients. The mechanical action and contents of the locally available miswak stick (toothbrush tree) seem to play a significant role in control of dental diseases.
