Prosthetic rehabilitation with HA-coated root form implants after restoration of mandibular continuity.

Utilization of implants to aid in oral reconstruction after partial mandibular resection entails coordination of multiple health care co-therapists as well as funding sources for the underprivileged. An illustrative case emphasizes these points. Ablation of a squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue resulted in a partial mandibulectomy, as well as multiple sensory, physical and psychosocial deficits. Continuity of the mandible was restored with a vascularized iliac crest bone graft. (Fig. 1) Total functional restoration, however, was only possible with implant supported overdenture prostheses. (Figs. 3-5).

The impact of implants on dental practice. A review of the 1988 NIH Consensus Development Conference.

The Consensus Development Conference process for the second time in ten years has come to grips with the dynamic field of oral implantology and has given it unquestioned scientific legitimacy and clear future clinical and research direction. Hopefully, for the millions of patients who could benefit from implant therapies, practitioners, hospitals, academic institutions, government agencies, health care insurance carriers, etc. will not wait to be forced to confront the reality of the success of implants, but they will begin or continue to restructure their practices, curricula, health care policies and benefits to provide the quality of life reasonably desired by our citizens.
