Abstract
Mandibular defects in six patients were immediately reconstructed with pure titanium reconstruction plates and autogenous iliac bone blocks. However, an alveolar process adequate for functional fitting of a denture did not form. More than 6 months after the reconstruction, correction of the ridge deficiency was attempted using autogenous particulate iliac cancellous bone and marrow combined with hydroxylapatite particles. By this secondary reconstruction, a functional well-fitting denture could be constructed for all six patients. After more than 2 years no evidence of resorption or infection has occurred.
