Investigation of Implant Stability Quotient Values of Dental Implants Placed in Vascularized Bone Grafts

Vascularized autologous bone grafts are widely used for mandibular reconstruction. There have also been numerous reports of occlusal reconstruction by placement implants in the grafted following mandible. However, histological structure graft is different from that healthy bone, and osseointegration process placed not clear. In this study, reconstructions using were assessed measuring implant stability quotient (ISQ), their values compared to those bone. The subjects 5 sites with vascularized fibula flaps. controls 54 molar region mandibles. All placements carried out a two-stage procedure, ISQs measured at first-stage surgery second-stage surgery. ISQ thus obtained change examined statistically. was no significant difference between two groups surgery, but significantly greater This appears be result differences site an objective index implant. present results suggest observing changes over time allows investigation usefulness types therapy.
