Summary

What Researchers Did

This review discussed factors contributing to implant failures in irradiated patients and explored methods to improve surgical outcomes, particularly hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

What They Found

The review noted a tendency for a higher frequency of titanium implant loss in irradiated patients compared to non-irradiated patients. It highlighted that hyperbaric oxygen therapy shows promise in improving surgical outcomes for these patients.

Canadian Relevance

This study has no direct Canadian connection.

Study Limitations

A limitation noted was the limited number of patients with titanium implants after irradiation, impacting the available statistics for review.
