  • Title: A technique for simultaneous fracture repair and augmentation of the atrophic edentulous mandible.
    Author: Woods WR, Hiatt WR, Brooks RL.
    Journal: J Oral Surg; 1979 Feb; 37(2):131-5. PubMed ID: 283207.
    Abstract:
    A technique that uses autogenous rib grafts for repair of fractures of an atrophic, edentulous mandible and augmentation of the ridge has been presented. Nine cases have been treated in this manner. We advocate this treatment to promote healing of the fractures and to provide necessary mandibular bone for future vestibuloplasty and, ultimately, restoration of function with denture construction.
