The purpose of this study is to present results obtained with a new procedure for reconstruction of the severely atrophied maxillary alveolar ridge that involves the use of intramembranous corticocancellous bone grafts obtained from the mandibular symphysis fixed to the residual bone by endosseous implants. A total of 107 implants were installed in grafted regions in 26 patients. The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 32 months, with a mean of 16 months. In partially edentulous patients the bone grafts were fixed with implants to the residual bone as 1) onlay graft to the alveolar ridge (8 implants in 4 patients); 2) grafts to the nasal and/or sinus floor after a transoral exposure and elevation of the mucosa of the maxillary sinus and/or the nasal mucosa (33 implants in 11 patients); or 3) a combination of these two (5 implants in 2 patients). In totally edentulous patients, implants and grafts were used as a combination of grafting to both the alveolar ridge and nasal and/or sinus floor sites (61 implants in 9 patients). One hundred of 107 implants showed normal clinical and radiologic healing, whereas 7 implants in 4 patients (6.5%) were lost prior to loading. Seventeen patients have had the implants and bone grafts loaded by a prosthodontic reconstruction from 6 to 26 months (mean, 14 months) without loss of any implants. Postoperative marginal resorption of the onlay bone graft of less than 15% was observed. These findings suggest, that the previously observed rapid resorption of endochondral iliac crest onlay bone grafts and the number of lost implants can be significantly reduced if bone from the mandibular symphysis firmly anchored with titanium implants is used.
