Implants Following Radiation Treatment?
Last Updated: Jun 04, 2007
Dr. S. asks:
I am going to place dental implants in the mandible. The patient had radiation treatment for cancer therapy 20 years ago. Is it safe now for me to place the dental implants? Will I need to refer the patient to have hyperbaric oxygen treatment? Will there be a decreased chance of osseointegration? Thanks for any help.
