Peri-implant squamous cell carcinoma appeared after implant-restoration in the left mandible: a case report

doi:10.19438/j.cjoms.2023.02.018

Abstract

Abstract: Recently, there have been several case reports of peri-implant squamous cell carcinoma, but whether implant-restoration has direct or indirect relation to tumorigenesis is not clear. In addition, peri-implant carcinoma is likely to be misdiagnosed as peri-implantitis. This paper reported a case with gingival squamous cell carcinoma after five years of implant-restoration. We retrieved the relevant literatures to summarize the features of peri-implant carcinoma, in order to improve the understanding of this disease, regular visits after implant restoration is also highlighted.

Key words: Dental Prosthesis, Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Peri-implantitis
