The occurrence of alveolar bone growth after placement of endosteal mandibular implants in two edentulous children is reported. The fact that alveolar bone growth occurred in the absence of natural teeth suggests that its growth and preservation is dependent upon biomechanical factors rather than the presence of teeth, as is traditionally thought.
报道了两例无牙儿童植入下颌骨内种植体后牙槽骨生长的情况。在无天然牙的情况下牙槽骨仍能生长,这一事实表明,牙槽骨的生长和保留取决于生物力学因素,而非如传统观念所认为的那样依赖于牙齿的存在。
