the present case report aims at illustrating how implant-prosthetic rehabilitation in patients with oral cancer resection aids to improve their quality of life.a patient with verrucous squamous cell carcinoma of the mandible was treated with surgery and rehabilitation with three interforaminal dental implants and Toronto bridge. Three years after treatment, because of cancer recurrence, a segment of jaw and one of the three mandibular implants were removed. The histological examination showed healthy bone contact to implant surface, despite proximity to the neoplastic area.the case shows the maintainance of the osseointegration implants despite the cancer recurrence in the same area.endosseous implants represent a useful and valid tool for the prosthetic rehabilitation of cancer patients. Long-term effects of implant-prosthetic rehabilitation in patients with cancer still need to be verified. It would be interesting to confirm the data obtained by numerical studies of representative samples.
