ABSTRACT
Osseointegrated implants are now commonplace in contemporary dentistry. However, a number of complications can occur around dental implants, including peri-implantitis, maxillary sinusitis, osteomyelitis, and neoplasms. There have been several reports of a malignant neoplasm occurring adjacent to a dental implant. In this report, we describe 2 such cases. One case was that of a 75-year-old man with no previous history of malignant disease who developed a solitary plasmacytoma around a dental implant in the left posterior mandible, and the other was that of a 43-year-old man who was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma adjacent to a dental implant in the right posterior mandible. Our experiences with these 2 cases suggest the possibility of a relationship between implant treatment and an inflammatory cofactor that might increase the risk of development of a malignant neoplasm.
