Zusammenfassung:	A therapeutic implant apparatus adapted for installation in the mouth of a maxillomandibularly fixated patient to facilitate oral feeding of the patient. The apparatus is installed in the patient's mouth and where it remains throughout the fixation therapy. The apparatus comprises an arched member having a tubular conduit provided therein. The tubular conduit includes an inlet port adapted for connection to a feeding tube and at least one outlet port for discharging liquid conveyed by the feeding tube into the patient's mouth. The arched member is preferably U-shaped in configuration to correspond substantially to the arrangement of the patient's dentition and is desirably fabricated from flexible material to accommodate the topography of the patient's teeth.
