Abstract

The use of dental implants is of great benefit in prosthodonic rehabilitation of patients with acquired jaw deformities. Most of these patients have such an inconvenient anatomical situation that the use of customary prosthodontics is not possible. Dental implants enable the making and retention of individualy designed prosthodontics in such patients. This presentation is a preliminary report of a prospective study on 12 patients with deformities and compromised bone which were treated with more than 40 dental implants. The quality of osseointegration is observed, measured and compared to implants in normal noncompromised bone.
Patients from this study are presented. More than 40 implantations in altered maxilla, mandibula and mastoid bone are shown. The presurgical and surgical phase of therapy is described and debated.
Conclusion of this preliminary report is that dental implants are completely safe and predictible method of treatment, even in the most difficul and compromised anatomical situations.
