Dental implants are not usually associated with dental cancer. Dental cancer usually refers to cancer of the gums, the exact cause of which is still unclear, and may be related to human papilloma virus infection and long-term smoking or long-term heavy alcohol consumption and other factors.
Dental implant is relying on artificial tooth root for restoration, which will not harm healthy teeth and gums, is more stable and less irritating, and will not cause gum cancer.
Gum cancer mostly occurs in patients who smoke or drink a lot of alcohol for a long period of time, and it is also triggered by the infection of human papilloma virus. It grows slowly in the early stage and most of them are lumpy or ulcerated.
Early stage gum cancer can be treated by surgery, and in advanced stage, after surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy should be supplemented, and targeted drugs can also be used for treatment.
After receiving treatment, patients should have long-term follow-up, and if necessary, they can do rehabilitation therapy under the guidance of doctors.
