Abstract
|
|
|
|
The placement of dental implants has been the most popular option for oral rehabilitation after extraction. The use of implants for the restoration of the edentulous area has increased, which has also resulted in an increase in complications such as peri-implantitis and traumatic mucosal chronic ulcers. The repeated irritation and chronic inflammation caused by dental implants may contribute to an increase in the risk of oral malignancy, which emphasizes the need for periodic follow-up examinations after implant rehabilitation. Early malignant lesions can be confused with peri-implantitis. This could delay the diagnosis of oral malignancies. This report presents the case of a patient with an oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) that occurred around a dental implant. The patient failed to keep up with the routine follow-up examinations, post-implant, thus resulting in the delay in the diagnosis of OSCC.
