Abstract
Background: We investigated dental implant outcomes in patients who had previously received radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck malignancies.
Methods: We reviewed 90 dental implants in 27 patients who received RT for head and neck cancer and received dental implants afterwards. The cumulative implant survival rate (CISR) was calculated. In addition, the implant quality was assessed using "Health Scale for Dental Implants."
Results: The CISR at 3 years was 79.6%. The mean radiation dose at the implant site (Dmean ) was identified as an independent prognostic factor for implant survival. No implant failed if Dmean was less than 38 Gy. Regarding implant quality, dental implants in grafted bone and Dmean were independent risk factors.
Conclusions: Dmean was identified as an independent prognostic factor for implant survival and quality. Dental implants can be safely considered when Dmean is lower than 38 Gy.

두경부암에 대해서 방사선치료를 받은 환자들이 추후 임플란트 시행시 임플란트 부분에 조사된 Dmean <38 Gy에서는 한명도 문제가 없었지만 그 이상에서는 이상이 발생하고 특히 Dmean >50 Gy에서는 방사선치료 종료 후 2년 이상 지난 후 시술을 시행하여도 문제가 발생할 가능성이 높다는 자세한 정보를 제공하는 흥미로운 연구입니다.
