Prosthodontic "headaches" following preprosthetic surgery.

This article promotes preprosthetic surgery that has been adequately planned and properly executed and that is an integral part of a comprehensive treatment plan. In addition, this paper promotes the development of preprosthetic surgery teams to select, plan, and treat preprosthetic surgery patients. Prosthodontists should take a more active role in the referral, selection, and treatment planning of preprosthetic surgery patients, because it is the prosthodontist who will restore the patient's dentition. Prosthodontists and surgeons need a greater understanding of each other's capabilities and limitations, and need to work together as a team.

The technique can save time for the radiotherapist, enhance accuracy in treatment, increase patient comfort, and save the dentist time in stent fabrication.
