Restoration of the atrophic, edentulous mandible.

Twenty-five years' experience in treating the atrophic mandible has convinced us that the ramus frame is the finest service we can provide the patient who is afflicted with this condition. Modifications in the design and placement have solved problems encountered with past use of this treatment modality. When one considers the relative comfort and function resulting from a fully-implant-supported prosthesis, the moderate cost of this one-piece custom-fabricated implant, and the fact that the implant and overdenture can be placed in one appointment, we believe that a resurgence will take place in the use of this treatment modality. The patient's ability to have immediate function, although limited to softer foods, is due to the large area of cortical bone supporting the implant. The most appreciative group of patients within our large implant practice consists of those patients who have had this procedure.

Maxillary and sinus implant reconstructions.

The root and sinus series of the Omnii system have been used extensively since 1981. They are very versatile in their ability to be used within edentulous areas of the maxilla. Their design attempts to maximize the use of the available bone, and placement techniques allow the manipulation of bone to form sockets in otherwise deficient areas of bone. The root implants can be used as free-standing implants or as multiple abutments. The sinus implant is always used as an abutment. It may be used in conjunction with other implants or with natural abutments. Maxillary implants are not loaded until a 6-month healing time has elapsed following placement. An understanding of the different qualities of bone found in the maxilla is important to achieving the successful loading of these implants. Different times are required to allow physiologic loading in different qualities of maxillary bone. Restorative treatment is normally done with fixed bridge work, and the use of any type of stress breaker attachments is not recommended.
