Current Evidence on Best Practice Dental Survivorship Care for People With Head and Neck Cancer: An Overview of Systematic Reviews and Emerging Evidence

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Head and neck cancer (HNC) survival is improving, increasing the need to address long‐term survivorship issues. Dental survivorship—care before, during, and after treatment—remains inconsistent across services. We conducted a review of systematic reviews and emerging evidence to inform contemporary dental survivorship care for HNC

Bone‐Anchored Implant Survival in Oncologic Facial Prosthetic Rehabilitation

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Published survival rates for bone‐anchored craniofacial implants exceed 85%, but derive largely from mixed populations. Whether these apply to head and neck oncologic surgery remains uncertain. Methods Retrospective survival analysis of implants placed for prosthetic rehabilitation following extirpative surgery at a UK center (2005 ...
