INTRODUCTION: Dental rehabilitation in oral cancer patients is essential for good oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Patient-specific dental implants are suitable for treating tumor-related bony defects, resulting in satisfactory OHRQoL. However, knowledge concerning the clinical outcome and OHRQoL following tumor irradiation is lacking.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was carried out to evaluate clinical outcomes and OHRQoL in eight patients who received patient-specific dental implants and implant-supported dentures after surgical treatment for oral cancer with additional irradiation. OHRQoL assessment was performed using the German long version of the oral health impact profile (OHIP) questionnaire (OHIP-G53).
RESULTS: Clinical examination revealed successful dental rehabilitation in all the patients with only minor impairments. Restricted stability and function of implants were not observed. OHIP sum-scores of all the patients indicated acceptable OHRQoL, but this varied between patients treated in the upper or lower jaw. Single-item sum-scores concerning the adverse events "difficulty in chewing," "food catching," "sore jaw," "sore spots," and "unclear speech" were detected to be the worst, and pain-related OHIP dimensions demonstrated the highest scores (followed by functional limitation, physical disability, and psychosocial impact) with a worse OHRQoL following lower jaw treatment. Other dimension sum-scores were overall lower and nearly equally distributed in patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Dental rehabilitation of irradiated oral cancer patients using patient-specific dental implants may be suitable, leading to acceptable OHRQoL. However, implant insertion in the upper jaw seems to be more favorable. Further studies on patient-specific dental implants are warranted to validate the current results.
