Impact of amalgam dental filling on radiotherapy of head and neck cancer: In vivo dosimetry and dose calculation using AAA and Acuros algorithms. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstract Introduction Dental restorations using high‐density materials can cause inaccuracies in target and organ‐at‐risk (OAR) delineation and dose calculations during radiotherapy. These materials, such as amalgam, lead to dose scattering, resulting in enhanced mucositis in adjacent tissues.
