Head and Neck Rehabilitation is one of the biggest unmet needs of cancer and other patients in India. With the solution to many of the problems lying with general dentists, they can utilize 90 per cent of their existing skill sets and knowledge, tweak 5 per cent and train 5 per cent to be able to address the need of an entirely new pool of patients. Although the term Oncodentistry pertains specifically to cancer patients, the scope of Dr Srinivasan’s ‘Enhance Head and Neck Rehabilitation’ mission goes beyond cancer, and includes birth defects, trauma and infections as well. Newer advancements have enabled ‘Enhance’ to leverage digital technology to treat patients remotely.
