Abstract:
Endosseous implant placement is generally considered to be contra-indicated in patients undergoing chemotherapy for the treatment of cancer. A case is presented where a patient was diagnosed with cancer and began chemotherapy four weeks after endosseous implants were placed. The impact of chemotherapeutic agents on endosseous implant acceptance as well as upon oral tissue is examined.
