title: [Restoration of sound transmission in the middle ear by reconstruction of the ossicular chain in its physiologic position. Results of incus reconstruction with ionomer cement].
abstract: We report the use of an ionomeric based bone substitute to reconstruct the ossicles in their normal position. To reconstruct small defects of the incudo-stapedial joint, this bone replacement material is applied to the long process of the incus and the head of the stapes. After setting and hardening a stable contact to the adjacent bone is formed. The audiological results after reconstruction of small incus defects with ionomeric cement are discussed in comparison to stapedectomy and tympanoplasty.
