Implant survival in patients with oral cancer: A 5-year follow-up

Abstract

Although a high survival rate was obtained in this study (with lower survival rates seen in mandible and grafted bone), prospective long-term studies are needed to assess the relationship between radiotherapy doses and the time required for implant placement, prosthetic protocol used, and type of implants used in patients selected for prosthetic rehabilitation. <b>Key words:</b>Dental implant, oral cancer, survival.
