Reconstruction of the edentulous mandible.
Three techniques, the subperiosteal mandibular bone plate, the mandibular staple bone plate and the titanium plasma screw implant system, used in the reconstruction of the edentulous mandible, are reviewed. The surgical and prosthetic techniques for each type of implant are described. A first attempt at gathering statistics on the results obtained with these implants is reported.
