Abstract
All these patients had 2 implants loaded: with 2 patients having both implants failing, and 10 having only 1 implant failure. The high proportion of patients refusing implants due to their preference is quite staggering and indicates a lack of effective communication between clinicians and patients as to the process of implant insertion and prosthesis loading. Implant loading While all 123 patients who underwent a pinnectomy and the placement of osseointegrated implants, loading of the implant with an auricular prosthesis was only observed in 85 patients. Radiotherapy does not influence the long term survival of osseointegrated implants following treatment for ear and temporal bone malignancy. [Extracted from the article]
