Hyperbaric oxygen vs No HBO therapy

Overall denture satisfaction (0-10 scale) · Patients who have had radiotherapy and who have missing teeth that require replacement with osseointegrated dental implants

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy showed no clear difference in patient satisfaction (overall denture satisfaction) compared with no HBO therapy; GRADE not reported.
