title: [Cancellous mandibular autografts and titanium mesh].
abstract: Pure cancellous bone transplants constitute an alternative to the usual cortico-cancellous grafts used in certain cases for restoring interrupting substance loss (ISL) in the mandible. The greater number of surviving transplant cells, the rapid revascularization and more complete osteogenesis that are achieved cause indications for this type of graft to be particularly well adapted for cases where local repair conditions are precarious, such as bullet wound related sequelae. Indications for their utilization also extend to patient who have had benign tumors excised. The titanium-made receiving splint designed by Pr. Dumbach is particularly well adapted to this type of restoration; it provides for necessary functional stresses to be translated to the implant, allowing for the latter's incorporation, while controlling the direction of osteogenesis, thereby yielding excellent morphological and functional results.
