Oral squamous cell carcinoma in association with dental osseointegrated implants. An unusual occurrence

C Clapp et al. Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 1996 Dec.

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.
