title: Interfaces of titanium implants and a vascularized osteocutaneous scapular graft revised with distraction osteogenesis.
abstract: This report assessed the bone-implant contact (BIC) and interthread bone density (BD) of 3 titanium implant interfaces retrieved from a mandible that was reconstructed with a vascularized osteocutaneous scapular graft and revised with multidirectional distraction osteogenesis before implant placement. The BICs and BDs were 86.9% and 92.8%, 67.3% and 80.6%, and 61.3% and 77.1%, respectively, for each of the implants in the graft that were revised 0 times, 1 time, and 2 times with distractions, respectively. The average rates of the BIC and BD of these 3 implants were 73.9% and 84.7%, respectively. The present assessment indicates that there was sufficient osseointegration of the implants in the vascularized scapular bone graft even after revision with distraction osteogenesis.
