APPLICAATION OF DENTAL IMPLANTS FOR FUNCTIONAL RECONSTRUCTION OF MANDIBLE

Abstract

Conventional treatment of jaw reconstruction with autogenous bone graft and titanium plate is not able to recover the function of mastication. In such cases we have tried to apply dental implants for the denture after resection of mandible. Bränemark implant system was applied to the iliac bone transplant after tumor surgery. And we obtained excellent stability of the denture and the function of mastication.
Surgical techniques were demonstrated with video and various problems about implant denture were discussed.
