Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate placement of implants and appliance using hyperbaric oxygenation on a 45-year-old male with a history of squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth.
Materials:
Five Nobel Biocare implants between the mental foamina were used along with a course of pre- and postsurgical hyperbaric oxygenation.
Results:
After 39 months, the patient is symptom free and shows no signs of rejection. Conclusion Using an accepted hyperbaric oxygenation protocol when placing and restoring immediate implants in this patient resulted in a successful treatment outcome.
