Abstract

Evaluation of edentulous patients with severely resorbed mandibles simultaneously treated with bone out of the iliac crest and implants. Prospective. Thirty-one females between 42 and 61 years of age, were surgically treated and provided with a bar construction or attachments with an overdenture. Orthopantomograms were made after 3, 6, 12, 24 and 60 months. Bone resorption was measured mesial and distal from each implant. 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. The described surgical treatment did not give reliable results.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
