Brian, I have been following this post very carefully. You state" Implants in radiated patients do not do well." I had my Mandible replaced with part of the bone from my left leg. Then I had radiation. This was all done at the Mayo Hosiptal in Phoenix, Arizona. Now, three years later the Drs. at Mayo tell me that they can do implants with me taking a few dives. What I really want to know is do I really want to physically go through the implant process with little chance of success. Also the cost is quite expensive. I would try it if it would work. At the moment I have no bottom teeth and am doing OK eating soft foods. Although a steak would sure taste good. Are there any successus with implants on radiated patients? I am anxious to hear from you.
