The understanding of the relationship between hard tissue, soft tissue, and tooth position is critical for the fabrication of an aesthetic implant restoration. The biology as well as the mechanics of each patient's situation should be evaluated and used to its maximal potential to support the surrounding tissues. Implant sites should be assessed before and after loss of tooth to help maintain the site in a state of aesthetic predictability. If the site deters from the ideal, procedures using orthodontics, bone grafting, or soft tissue grafting should be instituted to receive a well-placed implant. These procedures facilitate the placement of a restoration that harmonizes with the adjacent dentition.
The spectrum of osseointegrated implant applications in cancer patients is quite varied today. In the future, it will be even wider and more varied, limited only by the ingenuity of practitioners, skills of reconstructive surgeons, biology of the reconstruction, and cost restraint efforts. Today's practitioners are challenged to preserve and enhance the benefits of osseointegrated implants in some of the patients who need them most, the cancer patient. It is done by improving one's own skills by research and by education.
