[Rehabilitation of patients with newly generated malignant tumor of jaw-facial region with inner osseous implants].
Malignant tumors of the mouth cavity are characterized by aggressive progression as well as early metastasizing. As a rule, these patients need to undergo wide combined operations with resection of fragments of the jaw, causing some functional as well as psychosomatic disturbances. The purpose of the present investigation was the perfection of the methods for the rehabilitation of the given contingent of patients. The investigated patients (53 persons) underwent the treatment based on a single conception, i.e. on the 1st stage--chemical therapy, after elapsing of 4-6 weeks--radical surgical interference with a single moment plastic surgery, in the period of 6-8 months occurred total grafting of transplant tissue, giving an opportunity for implantation that was followed by prosthetic appliance. During the estimation of the results, various clinical and instrumental methods of investigation were taken into consideration. Summing up, we would like to note that application of inner bone implants with the subsequent prosthesis, seems to be an optimal method for maximal rehabilitation of patients with tumors of the jaw-facial region.
