Surgery may involve removing affected tissue or part of the jaw, while radiation or other treatments can also influence oral health and rehabilitation. Restoring oral function after cancer treatment may require coordinated care involving oncology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, reconstructive surgery and dental rehabilitation. The battle against Cancer-Affected Jaw is a testament to human resilience, but the journey often leaves behind physical and emotional scars. For those whose treatment has affected their jaw, the loss of their natural smile can be one of the most challenging aspects of recovery.
