Study on the influence of fixed dental prostheses on radiotherapy dose distribution based on dual-layer detector spectral CT imaging
Objective Dental prostheses are often removed before radiotherapy due to metal-induced artifacts, impairing patients’ quality of life. This study evaluated five non-metallic materials for fixed prostheses in head and neck radiotherapy. Methods Full crowns made of zirconia, lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, resin-matrix...
