“…Although some authors had successfully used simultaneous osseointegration before radiotherapy, 32 others reported high failure rates. 33,34 In our center, osseointegrated dental implants will be considered in patients with low-grade malignant maxillary tumors as long as the patients are disease free for a long term.…”

“…Implant survival has been reported to be worse in irradiated mandibles compared with that of mandibles not exposed to radiation. 20,33 In the literature, there is no special information about specific characteristics of resection prostheses. 34 Removable prostheses are generally used in resected patients, because these patients had few remaining teeth.…”

“…Decreased implant survival has been reported for irradiated mandibles in previous studies. 20,21 This clinical report presents the rehabilitation of an irradiated patient who has undergone partial mandibulectomy and hemiglossectomy with an implant-supported removable prosthesis for mandible together with tooth supported precision attachment prosthesis for the maxilla.…”

“…The relative advantages of immediate implant placement include preventing the need for a second episode of surgery, the possible need for adjunctive HBO therapy and preventing placement of implants in irradiated tissue. 44 The relative disadvantages of placement at the ablative stage include the diffi culty in assessing the prognosis of the patient and as such the possible need for more surgery if initial treatment is unsuccessful. A study examining implant survival of 435 implants in 93 patients post-resective surgery showed that the mean survival rate (69%) at ten years was lower than in healthy individuals.…”
