Abstract

Nowadays dental is considered the first treatment option to restore missing teeth. Several studies agreed about the high success rate regarding modern dental implants in the maxilla and mandible. As well as many studies showed improvement in the quality of life after dental implants regarding both esthetics and function. Cancer fighters go on a long journey of treatment to cure the cancer. The treatment might be chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or hormonal or combination. After that journey, some patients might need to restore the missing teeth to improve their quality of life. Unfortunately, the bone healing capacity may affected among those patients due to impaired osteoblast and osteoclast function. The osseointegration process is affected due to the limited blood supply associated with endarteritis. Xerostomia and soft tissue fragility are other challenges to the healing process. In this study total of three cases will be discussed regarding dental implants after they finish the treatment and cured for cancer.

Keywords: Its possible to place dental implants after reviewing the current patient medical condition and bone capacity for healing. Keywords: Cancer, Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy
