About this trial
The investigators aim to develop a prospective database in which patient demographics, surgical, dental, prosthetic and QOL parameters collected during consecutive visits within the framework of routine practice, are being registered for each oncological patient eligible for (immediate/delayed) fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation at time of oral cavity reconstruction
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients of all ages
Patients of all genders
Patients with a histologically or clinically confirmed diagnosis of ORN, MRONJ, as classified by Ruggiero et al. (Ruggiero, et al., 2014) or carcinoma located in the oral cavity and jawbone, requiring segmental or total jaw resection
Patients eligible for jaw and oral cavity reconstruction combined with immediate/delayed implant loading for fixed prosthetic rehabilitation
Disqualifiers
Patients with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of osteonecrosis not related to an oncological diagnosis or treatment
Patients with medical contraindications for jaw reconstruction combined with immediate implant loading for fixed prosthetic rehabilitation
Patients eligible for conventional removable prosthetic rehabilitation
Trial population
All consenting patients with a histologically confirmed oncology diagnosis that requires major ablative surgery of the oral cavity, including segmental or total jaw resection, due to head and neck cancer, ORN or MRONJ
