Application and research progress of dental implant in patients with head and neck neoplasms after radiotherapy

Abstract

Abstract: Surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy are currently the main treatment for head and neck tumors. Postoperative jaw and dentition defect seriously affect the life quality of patients. In recent years, with the development of dental implants, more patients tend to choose implants to restore their missing teeth after surgery. Radiotherapy after surgery not only increased the incidence of osteomyelitis and mucositis, led to jaw osteoradionecrosis, but also affected the survival of dental implants. Therefore, minimizing the impact of radiotherapy on the jaw and taking the right implantation time, appropriate implant restoration method, and intervention of implant retention play a key role. In this paper, the application and research progress of dental implant in jaw after radiotherapy were reviewed.

Key words: Implants, Radiation therapy, Intervention
