Viability of dental implants in patients treated for oral squamous carcinoma: A retrospective study.
Article in Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimDental rehabilitation significantly improves the quality of life of oral cancer survivors, although its success may vary with multiple factors. This study aims to assess the viability of dental implants in treated cases of oral squamous carcinoma, focusing on radiotherapy, dose, site, thread design, and time interval following radiotherapy. SETTINGS AND
designA retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary cancer care institute on patients with oral squamous carcinoma who received dental implants during the period January 2019 to February 2024. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study group comprised 120 patients with 443 implants. The primary variables assessed included radiation therapy (RT) status (pre RT and post RT), dose, implant site (native bone versus fibula free flap), implant thread design (active or passive), and time interval following radiotherapy.Statistical Analysis Used: Chi square and independent t tests. Statistical significance was determined as P<0.05.
resultsAmong the evaluated variables, radiation status demonstrated statistically significant effects on implant success. Implants placed before radiotherapy (pre RT) showed a higher success rate compared to those placed after radiotherapy (post RT) (95.1% vs. 80.1%; P = 0.03). Other variables, including dose, implant site, and thread design, did not have any significant association with the survival of implants.
conclusionsAmong assessed factors, timing relative to radiotherapy appears most influential, favoring pre RT implant placement. To mitigate implant failure, a longer interval time period between radiation and implant treatment is recommended with consideration to dose of radiation to implanted area. Fibula bone is a dependable recipient site.
