  • Title: Inferior-border rib grafting for augmentation of the atrophic edentulous mandible.
    Author: Sanders B, Cox R.
    Journal: J Oral Surg; 1976 Oct; 34(10):897-900. PubMed ID: 787481.
    Abstract:
    Use of inferior-border grafting eliminates many of the problems associated with transoral onlay graft procedures. With an inferior-border graft, the graft does not bear the direct pressure of a prosthesis and allows for increase in mandibular height without as much loss of vestibule as in a transoral graft. A skin-graft vestibuloplasty is performed 6 to 12 months after rib grafting but the patient can wear a denture in the interim.
