Dental Implants Show Lower Survival in Irradiated vs. Non-Irradiated Patients

Posted: September 4, 2025
An umbrella review compared the survival of dental implants in head and neck cancer patients who underwent irradiation versus those who did not. The analysis of 11 studies with 73,674 implants revealed a 81.52% survival rate for irradiated implants and 94.64% for non-irradiated implants. The research highlights a significant difference in favor of implants in non-irradiated patients, indicating a higher failure rate in irradiated individuals. The study emphasizes the need for further well-designed clinical studies to better understand the impact of radiotherapy on dental implant outcomes.
