Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers studied 21 dental implants placed in the lower jaws of four patients who had previously received radiation therapy.

What They Found

All 21 dental implants remained in place and functional for 3 to 7 years in patients with previously irradiated mandibles. No implants were lost during this follow-up period.

Canadian Relevance

This study covers the use of dental implants in previously irradiated mandibles, which is related to osteoradionecrosis, a Health Canada-recognised indication for HBOT.

Study Limitations

The study's findings are limited by the very small number of patients and implants included in this trial.
