[Dental rehabilitation using osseointegrated implants: treatment of oro-maxillo-facial cancer. A preliminary study of 7 cases].
Edentulism is often reported after treatment for malignancy of oral cavity. The resulting deformities from loss of teeth and bone create a "social invalid" with difficulties in articulation and mastication. Prosthetic rehabilitation was difficult because of two problems: the risk of osteoradionecrosis development and local anatomic modifications. The introduction of osseointegrated implants improved results of oromandibular reconstruction. A preliminary report of nineteen Branemark implants of seven patients is reported here. Implants have been in place and functioning for a period of one to four years. No major complication occurred and osseointegration permitted good oral rehabilitation. Placement of osseointegrated implants in osteomyocutaneous flaps and in irradiated bone is discussed.
