Nasopharyngeal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy usually suffer from salivary gland atrophy which leads to carious teeth on the root surface. There are a lot of dentists hesitant on performing implant surgery for those patients due to the possibility of necrotic tooth socket after radiation treatment. Not only the bone loss of tooth socket creates instability for implant but it leads to a high failure rate in long term as well. Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Sara Pan has successfully restored fully functional and esthetic teeth for numerous patients with similar condition by performing water laser for minimal invasive implant surgery along with low level laser treatment as part of the treatment aids.
