Abstract
This article describes the fabrication and modification of a peroral c one-positioning device. The modification provides added cone stability and prevents tongue intrusion into the radiation field. This device p rovides a repeatable accurate cone/lesion relationship and the fabrica tion technique is simplified, accurate, and minimizes patient discomfo rt.
