Autogenous Bone Graft and Osseointegrated Implants for Severely Atrophied Maxilla：A Preliminary Report

Abstract

A combination of autogenous iliac crest bone graft and Branemark implants was used in 11 patients with severely resorbed maxillae. The survival rates of putting implants were estimated in the size of implants and types of the bone graft.
The follow-up period ranged from 5 to 56 months. An 89.5% survival rate was recorded in this study. This result suggested that the combination of an autogenous bone graft and Brånemark implants is an acceptable procedure for the severely atrophied maxillae.
