Abstract:

This article discussed the use of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis, osteoradionecrosis, and nonhealing wounds. The fabrication of custom-fitted oxygen applicators is presented, and specific recommendations are made for their use. The prosthodontist serves as a valuable member of the hyperbaric treatment team. His professional knowledge and technical expertise allow him to construct treatment applicators which are professionally sound and provide comfort for the patient.
