[Experience in making up for the defects of mandible with titanium reconstructive plates].
A brief review of the adoption and the use of reconstructive titanium plates (RTP) to make up for the defects of the mandible is presented in the article. 33 patients aged from 19 to 63 were observed. The defects of various areas of the mandible from 3 to 15 cm were made up with RTP. In 10 patients there were combinations with other materials. The periods of observation were up to 8 years. Absence of complications during the whole period of observations is stated. Secondary osteogenesis induction has been noted as a result of RTP interaction with the bone and the periosteum. Attention is paid to the necessity to observe technical requirements of RTP application. It allows to use the plates in making up for the defects of mandible (including vast defects) in the course of long (not less than 8 years) periods. Respectivity of the study of conditions and factors influencing optimum reparative regeneration of bone tissue surrounding RTP is conformed.
