“…The results found for the osseointegration and survival of the implants in the present study were very good with 94.7 % after 1-11 years. This confirms the conclusions of most former studies [8]. Nevertheless, the technical feasibility of implant insertion in free fibular flaps seems to be safe and longlasting comparable to the mandible.…”

“…To achieve bony reconstruction along with dental rehabilitation, the performance of enossal implants in free fibular flaps was described [7][8][9]. However, it has also been shown that the objective clinically rated measurements of the donor and recipient regions did not always correlate with patient perception of outcome [10].…”

“…Research has shown that the performance of dental implants in bone grafts or free flaps after tumor resection was satisfactory, and using implants to support the dental prosthesis seems to significantly reduce bone resorption . The application of dental implants has been found to be advantageous for the oral rehabilitation of patients who have undergone intraoral resections, despite the thickness and mobility of soft tissues and scar contracture …”

The current systematic review was performed to assess the functional outcomes of implant-prosthetic treatment on patients who have had surgical resection of oral cavity tumors. The assessment of function, satisfaction, or quality of life (QoL) were the major outcomes that evaluated preoperative and/or before and after implant-prosthetic treatment. Only eight published studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Three publications evaluated chewing ability, masticatory performance, and neuromuscular function, and the other five publications used questionnaire as a method of assessment. These publications mainly reported on implant-prosthetic treatment in mandibulectomy patients. It was found that implant-retained prosthesis had a beneficial effect on masticatory performance and masseter muscle activity on the defect side, but not on the non-defect side. Swallowing threshold performance and jaw movement parameters showed no significant differences between non-implant-retained prosthesis and implant-retained prosthesis. Significant improvement in prosthesis and patients' satisfaction with implant-retained prosthesis compared to non-implant-retained prosthesis was observed. However, general improvement in patients' QoL was not observed after implant-prosthetic treatment. Patients with intraoral resection might benefit from implant-retained prosthesis with regard to masticatory function and satisfaction. However, future clinical trials with an adequate sample size are needed to identify the group of patients who are likely to benefit from the implant-prosthetic treatment modality.

“…25 A variety of software platforms and CAD/ CAM prosthetic designs are currently being investigated in constructing implant placement guides and prosthetic platforms to improve occlusal accuracy. 26,27 While the accuracy of the reconstructions has improved, current technology does not allow for the transfer of this information to the surgical field with reliability, and replicating the treatment plan at the time of surgery continues to be a challenge. Small changes in angulation or rotation of the construct may result in unfavorable occlusal results from a prosthetic standpoint.…”
