First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looked at whether marking where dental implants will go before starting radiation therapy can protect the jawbone in people with head and neck cancer. Eight patients were included, and researchers checked if this approach kept the implant areas safe from high radiation doses while still treating the tumor effectively. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
