REHABILITATION OF SEVERELY RESORBED MANDIBLE TREATED WITH MINI DENTAL IMPLANTS AND ILIAC CREST BONE GRAFTS: CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Acta Facultatis Medicae Naissensis - Year 2011, Vol 28, Issue 3
Abstract
Severe pathologic resorption of the mandible may result in weakening of the jaw, unstable dentures, abnormal functions of mastication and speech, and a marked reduction of the facial and vertical dimension. This clinical report describes the rehabilitation of a severely resorbed mandible treated with mini dental implants and an iliac bone graft. A bone graft harvested from the iliac crest was used for the reconstruction of a severely resorbed mandible in a female patient aged 59 years. Six months after graft remodeling, four mini dental implants were inserted. The patient was prostheticaly rehabilitated using an implant retained denture. This treatment was considered to be a beneficial treatment choice in the maintenance of satisfactory functional and esthetic results in patients with severely atrophied alveolar ridges.
