Autogenous bone grafts for atrophic edentulous mandibles: A final report

While autogenous bone augmentations for atrophic edentulous mandibles are not the ideal solution for this problem, we do not share the pessimism of other investigators. The average loss of bone over the 92-month observation period was 60% for this small sample of eight patients. However, there was a...

However, there was an 81% gain in bone height in the premolar-molar regions when compared with presurgical measurements. Seven of the eight patients believed these procedures were beneficial.
