Summary

What Researchers Did

This study looked at placing dental implants immediately and using hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in a 45-year-old man who had previously been treated for mouth cancer.

What They Found

After 39 months, the patient had no symptoms and showed no signs of the implants being rejected. The researchers concluded that using an accepted HBOT protocol for immediate implant placement in this patient led to a successful treatment outcome.

Canadian Relevance

This study covers a Health Canada-recognised indication for hyperbaric oxygen therapy: delayed radiation injury, which includes osteoradionecrosis.

Study Limitations

As a case study, this research only involved one patient, so its findings may not apply to everyone.
