This case report demonstrates that severe disuse atrophy of an edentulous mandible can be changed to reparative bone growth through restoration of function and masticatory ability using an osseointegrated implant-supported fixed prosthesis. In 8 years, bone height in the retroforaminal area nearly doubled and a new bony layer remodeled the cranial roof of the mandibular canal.
本病例报告表明,通过使用骨整合种植体支持的固定修复体恢复功能和咀嚼能力,无牙下颌骨的严重废用性萎缩可转变为修复性骨生长。在8年时间里,孔后区的骨高度几乎增加了一倍,并且一层新的骨层重塑了下颌管的颅顶。
