title: [Reconstruction of the severely resorbed mandible using autologous bone and implants. An evaluation after 5 years].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Evaluation of edentulous patients with severely resorbed mandibles simultaneously treated with bone out of the iliac crest and implants.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prospective.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty-one females between 42 and 61 years of age, were surgically treated and provided with a bar construction or attachments with an overdenture.
  
  
  METHODS
  Orthopantomograms were made after 3, 6, 12, 24 and 60 months. Bone resorption was measured mesial and distal from each implant.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Eight implants out of 78 inserted implants were lost. The average bone resorption was 0.6 mm after 3 months and 4.4 mm after 60 months. In some patients no bone resorption was found; in other patients the augmented bone was completely lost.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The described surgical treatment did not give reliable results.
