[Osseointegrated implants for the retention of restorative jaw prostheses and facial prostheses for functional and esthetic rehabilitation following tumor surgery].
To restore the masticatory function after tumor surgery, 110 transmucosal intraoral implants have been inserted in 21 patients, and 26 percutaneous implants in a total of 9 patients for the stabilization of facial prostheses. While 12 of the intraoral implants had to be removed for lack of bony integration, the losses of the percutaneous implants for the stabilization of facial prostheses were exclusively due to tumor recurrences in the direct vicinity of the implants. Our previous results in the use of osseointegrated implants for the retention of restorative maxillofacial prostheses show a limited incidence of complications and give reason to expect long-term success in functional and esthetic rehabilitation. This method provides a decisive improvement in the quality of the life of tumor patients compared to the procedures used up to now.
