Yes. Custom-fit devices like Stentra™ are designed to help protect healthy areas of your mouth during radiation therapy. Stentra™ positions your tongue and jaw to minimize exposure to radiation-sensitive tissues and keeps your mouth stable throughout each session. This can help reduce side effects such as oral pain, mucositis, and jaw stiffness. It is personalized to your anatomy and often covered by insurance.

Stentra™ is designed for patients undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancers. It is particularly beneficial for those who need precise tongue and jaw positioning during treatment, including individuals with complex anatomies or without natural teeth (edentulous). Each device is customized to the patient’s unique anatomy to help improve the accuracy of radiation delivery and reduce exposure to healthy tissues. Ask your doctor if Stentra™ may be appropriate for your treatment plan.

Unlike standard, one-size-fits-all devices, Stentra™ is fully customized to your unique anatomy using advanced 3D intraoral scanning. This personalized design ensures a more precise fit, greater comfort, and improved treatment accuracy, helping to reduce side effects by minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissues. Ask your care team if Stentra™ is right for you.

Stentra™ is based on clinical research showing that customized oral stents can improve the precision of radiation delivery, reduce exposure to healthy tissues, and lessen treatment-related side effects. Studies also highlight improvements in patient comfort and treatment compliance, especially for those undergoing head and neck radiation therapy. Talk to your doctor about how Stentra™ may support your care.

Yes. While it’s ideal to begin using Stentra™ at the start of your radiation therapy, it can still be introduced after initial sessions to help protect healthy tissue and enhance comfort during the remainder of treatment. Ask your doctor to determine if Stentra™ is appropriate for your specific care plan.

Stentra™ is designed to be reused throughout your course of radiation therapy. Each device comes with a reusable storage container and is supported by a validated cleaning and handling guide. Your radiation therapy team will clean and store the device between sessions according to these instructions—ensuring it remains safe, effective, and comfortable for continued use. Ask your care team if you have any questions about how your Stentra™ is being maintained.

After your oral scan is submitted, your custom Stentra™ stent is designed, 3D printed and delivered within 72 hours. It’s typically ready before your first radiation treatment session, ensuring there’s no delay in your care.

Yes. We work with international partners and can adapt shipping and support services to meet regional requirements. Please contact us to confirm availability and service options in your country.

As early as possible — ideally before your simulation scan or the start of radiation treatment. This is when your care team plans how therapy will be delivered. Bringing up options like Stentra™ early ensures your comfort, safety, and long-term quality of life are part of the conversation. Use this guide to help start that discussion.

The program offers your team direct experience with Stentra™—Kallisio’s FDA-cleared, patient-specific oral stent for head and neck radiation therapy. It enables evaluation of clinical benefits such as improved patient positioning, potential reduction in oral mucositis, and enhanced treatment tolerance. Additionally, your team can assess workflow integration, billing feasibility using existing CPT codes, and potential long-term return on investment.

Select up to 10 head and neck cancer patients and assign a team member to upload cases via Kallisio’s secure clinical portal. An intraoral scanner is preferred—Kallisio can assist if one is not available. Device fit is verified during CT simulation. Follow-up is required to share toxicity and setup reproducibility data, which are essential to assessing clinical and operational impact.
