Long term ridge augmentation with rib graft.

W H Davis, R I Delo, W B Ward

    Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery
    |June 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Transoral rib grafting provided some bone augmentation in all ten cases over three to six years, improving function in thin mandibles. This procedure offers a viable, though not ideal, solution for patients needing bone support.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Regenerative Medicine
    • Bone Grafting Techniques

    Background:

    • Mandibular bone resorption presents challenges in reconstructive surgery.
    • Existing thin mandibles are susceptible to further bone loss.
    • Alternative grafting methods may have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of transoral rib grafting for mandibular bone augmentation.
    • To assess functional improvements following the procedure.
    • To determine the long-term outcomes of this grafting technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of ten cases undergoing transoral rib grafting.
    • Assessment of bone augmentation at the graft site.
    • Evaluation of functional outcomes post-surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Bone augmentation was observed in all ten cases.
    • The augmentation persisted over a three-to-six-year follow-up period.
    • Functional improvements were noted in all patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Transoral rib grafting demonstrates potential for bone augmentation in thin mandibles.
    • The procedure offers functional benefits and halts further resorption.
    • It serves as a valuable holding procedure for selected patients.
