Abstract:
The major risk factors for developing oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma in the United States include smoking, alcohol, syphilis, and herpes simplex virus type 1. It is difficult to locate a report of squamous cell carcinoma arising in association with osseointegrated dental implants, despite their frequent use. We report an unusual series of 3 cases of squamous cell carcinoma arising around an implant.
