    Author: Wismeijer D, Vermeeren JI, van Waas MA.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd; 1998 Jul; 105(7):242-4. PubMed ID: 11928427.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of edentulous patients with severely resorbed mandibles simultaneously treated with bone out of the iliac crest and implants. DESIGN: Prospective. MATERIAL: 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. CONCLUSION: The described surgical treatment did not give reliable results.
