Implant-supported oral rehabilitation in oncology patients: a retrospective cohort study

In this study we retrospectively investigated the outcomes of 115 patients (376 dental implants) with a mean (range) follow up of 3.91(0.11-12.76) years. We considered survival of the implants, percentage of those used for prosthetic rehabilitation, time from diagnosis to placement and restoration, additional operations involving soft-tissue revision, and the effects of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and reconstructive flaps on these outcomes.
