Many procedures for increasing the denture-bearing area of the atrophic mandible have been advocated. This article presents an alternative method of treatment. The ramus frame implant is a metallic tripodal device designed to provide a denture-bearing surface when inserted into the mandible. The procedure for placement of the frame requires minimal time and instrumentation, and it may be performed on an outpatient basis. Fifty-six implants have been placed since 1974, and 51 (91%) are still in place and functional.
已经有人提倡多种增加萎缩性下颌骨义齿承托区的方法。本文介绍一种替代治疗方法。升支框架种植体是一种金属三脚架装置，设计用于插入下颌骨时提供义齿承托面。放置框架的操作所需时间和器械最少，并且可以在门诊进行。自1974年以来已植入56枚种植体，其中51枚（91%）仍在位且功能良好。
