Does dental implantation cause cancer, is one of the questions that are frequently mentioned in many places, and in this article we will provide you with many different answers in this regard, in addition to many important and distinctive information that we will show you in detail in this article, so follow us so that we can respond to all your different inquiries in this regard.

What is the dental implant procedure

Dental implants: It is a surgical procedure used as an alternative to the missing tooth root. This process implants metal structures in place of damaged teeth after extraction, where these structures are fixed in the jaw to build a new base on which the prosthetic crown relies. Teeth are implanted in stages, where the first stage is preparing the appropriate place for implantation, then metal structures are implanted into the jaw bone to form artificial roots, and after that, the artificial tooth (crown) is placed on the supports on the dental implant, giving the person a natural tooth appearance. Dental implant surgery replaces tooth roots with metallic supports resembling screws and replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that are exactly like natural teeth in shape and performance.

We would like to emphasize that dental implants do not cause cancer, and we provide them safely and with high quality.

Conditions for dental implants

The conditions for dental implants are multiple and varied. Below we will show you the most important and prominent ones as follows:

1. No health problems: The person wishing to undergo dental implantation must not suffer from any health problem that may affect the surgery and wound healing. If the person suffers from diseases such as diabetes or heart disease, these conditions must be controlled and stabilized before starting the process.
2. Good amount of jaw bone: The patient must have a sufficient amount of strong jaw bone, allowing the grafts to be placed correctly in the jaw. The bone should completely surround the implant and its thickness should not be less than 1 to 2 mm.
3. Sterilization of the implantation site: Dental implantation requires good sterilization of the implantation site. The site should be clean and free of any infection or inflammation to ensure the success of the operation.
4. Use of artificial bone: In some cases, the patient may not have a sufficient amount of jaw bone. In these cases, artificial bone can be used to compensate for the deficiency and enable implantation.
5. Loss of one or more teeth: Loss of one or more teeth is a condition for dental implantation. These missing teeth can be replaced with artificial teeth that resemble natural teeth.
6. Patient medical history: The patient’s medical history should be reviewed before dental implantation. This includes checking if the person has had previous dental implants and the number of implanted teeth they have. It should also be known if the patient can be anesthetized locally in the area of ​​the tooth supports.
7. Consult a dental surgery expert: The patient must consult a qualified dental surgery expert who specializes in this field. These experts have the necessary knowledge and skills to ensure the success of dental implantation.

We rely on research and scientific evidence to clarify that dental implants are not a risk factor for cancer.

Advantages of dental implants

5 advantages of dental implants make them the ideal choice

1- Preserving jaw and mouth bones: Dental implants prevent bone atrophy in the place of the missing tooth. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding jaw and bones tend to regress and contract, affecting facial shape, chewing, and bone integrity. However, dental implants replace the missing tooth and keep the bones in place.

2- Absolute protection for other teeth: Dental implants preserve other teeth from tilting and consequently being lost. The missing tooth maintains the independence of adjacent teeth, supporting them and reducing the risk of them falling out in the future.

3- Improving chewing ability and regulating the eating process: Dental implants restore balance to mouth function and improve the patient’s ability to chew and regulate the eating process. The fixed implanted teeth function efficiently, making it possible to eat food naturally and enjoyably.

4- Improving speech ability: One of the important advantages of dental implants is improving the ability to speak confidently. The fixed implanted teeth restore the natural tone of the voice and prevent whistling or undesirable sounds while speaking.

5- Regaining self-confidence and improving mood: People who suffer from tooth loss face many challenges such as difficulty eating and its impact on pronunciation and aesthetics. However, dental implants greatly restore patients’ self-confidence and improve their mood, making them feel happy and self-reliant in dealing with daily life.

If you are considering this procedure, it is important to be aware of potential risks you may face. In this article, we will review 5 of the most important risks you should know before undergoing dental implants.

1. Dealing with surrounding structures: During dental implantation, inflammation may occur at the implantation site, which can lead to injury or damage to surrounding structures such as teeth or other blood vessels. It can also cause nerve damage, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, or stinging in your natural teeth, gums, lips, chin.
2. Infection: Infection and inflammation may occur after dental implantation. You may need antibiotics to control infection and reduce chances of occurrence.

Effect of dental implants on the nose: If you have had dental implants placed in the upper jaw, this can negatively affect the sinus, causing swelling and inflammation, and you may suffer from pain around the eyes and nasal congestion. You should be aware of this risk and prepared to deal with it.
4. Potential complications: Although dental implants are a safe procedure, they may involve some complications. Among those complications, bone healing failure may occur, the gums may recede from the implanted tooth, and inflammation may occur. Lack of good quality bone around the extracted tooth may result in implant failure.
5. Allergic reaction: Sometimes, an allergic reaction to the dental implant may occur due to the materials used, as the patient is prone to allergies. People with a previous history of allergies should speak with their dentist before undergoing the procedure.

Dental implants are a safe and effective procedure that does not pose a risk to general health or cancer.

When is dental implantation resorted to?

Dental implants are resorted to in different cases, including severe tooth fractures and cracks, where the cracked tooth is completely removed and replaced with an artificial tooth. Dental implants are also used to replace lost teeth due to gum disease or any other reason, where the dentist develops a plan for the patient to restore mouth functions, either by treating and restoring damaged teeth or by compensating for what has been lost from them. The tooth is surgically implanted into the jaw bones and can be done in two stages, where in the first stage the tooth root is implanted and in the second stage the artificial tooth is suspended.

Post dental implant advice

After undergoing dental implant surgery, the patient needs to follow some advice to aid quick recovery and reduce potential complications. Here we take a look at some important advice the patient should follow after dental implants:

1. Take medications regularly: The doctor prescribes pain relievers such as acetaminophen to relieve post-surgery pain. If antibiotics are prescribed, the full dose should be completed according to the doctor’s instructions.
2. Maintain daily oral hygiene: Other teeth should be carefully cleaned using a soft toothbrush after surgery. But rinsing the mouth should be avoided for the first 24 hours after surgery.
3. Avoid eating hot food and drink: The patient should avoid eating hot foods and drinks for the first 48 hours after surgery. The patient can eat mashed foods and drink plenty of fluids on the first day after surgery.
4. Reduce consumption of solid foods: The patient is advised to reduce consumption of solid foods and instead rely on soft foods and fluids. The regular diet can be resumed 1 week after surgery.
5. Avoid certain foods for one week: Hard, coarse foods such as corn, nuts, and chips should be avoided for one week after surgery, which helps avoid excessive pressure on the affected area.
6. Avoid alcohol and smoking: The patient should avoid alcohol and smoking after surgery, as these habits can slow the recovery process.
7. Use saline water for rinsing: After surgery, the patient can use saline instead of regular water for rinsing. This is done to reduce inflammation and irritation of the existing wound.

What is the success rate of implantation in cancer patients

The success rate of bone marrow transplantation in cancer patients depends on many important factors, and this rate refers to the percentage of survivors of this procedure for a specified period of time. Statistics show that the number of bone marrow transplants has increased significantly since the opening of the transplantation unit at the center, rising from 120 cases per year in 2016 to 238 cases currently. It also indicates that the success rate of these operations is comparable to global results and exceeds 65%.

Although the overall success rate of bone marrow transplantation in cancer patients is estimated at around 60% on average, this rate is affected by many factors such as tumor type, disease severity, and patient age. Regardless of other treatments, bone marrow transplantation is considered the only remaining option for complete recovery in cancer patient cases. In general, bone marrow transplantation is a procedure for injecting healthy, blood-forming stem cells into the patient’s body, in order to replace the old bone marrow that does not produce sufficient quantities of healthy blood cells.
