Abstract:
Recommended treatment for head and neck cancer associates surgery and radiotherapy. Indication for bone-anchored epitheses in irradiated patients is also a common situation. The outcome of the implant appears to be improved with a special protocol for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, antibiotic therapy and calcitherapy. The problem of radiotherapy in patients with titanium osseointegrated implants is also discussed.
