  • Title: Case report: the transmandibular implant system.
    Author: Tinsley D, Watson CJ, Russell JL, Hassall DC.
    Journal: Eur J Prosthodont Restor Dent; 2001 Mar; 9(1):31-4. PubMed ID: 11695132.
    Abstract:
    This series of case reports outlines the use of the transmandibular implant system to rehabilitate 10 patients with severely resorbed mandibles. The implants were placed according to manufacturers' guidelines with the patient under a general anaesthetic and reviewed bi-annually thereafter. Three patients experienced problems: in two of these this involved the loss of integration of the distal posts, in the other patient the transmandibular implant was removed in its entirety. Distal locking screws became loose shortly after placement in three patients. Prosthetic complications included difficulty in obtaining passive fit of the superstructure in 7 patients and a high long-term maintenance commitment.
