Transplant veterans - dental implant failures?

[Guest guest]

I had a bone marrow transplant in 1997 for cml, totally cured a long time ago.

My first dental implant just failed, only a few months after insertion. I am

wondering about bone softness due to the massive radiation we received? The oral

surgeon doesnt know anything. Its so rare that these fail I dont think its a

coincidence. The alternative now is a bridge which I am leaning toward.

If the implant fails again he would do a bridge. I hate to go through all the

appointments and have it fail. Any information about this greatly appreciated. I

did read that oxygen chamber treatments have greatly helped people who had jaw

radiation - helped with implants staying put.

Thanks, and peace
