The titanium staple implant : A classification of three-dimensional profiles, of the anterior implant-bearing area of human mandibles

Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent) / The purpose of this study was to e8tablish standards (norms), based on three-dimensional
stereomicroscopic surveys of the anterior implant-bearing area of severely-resorbed human
edentulous mandibles. Such standards could possibly be applied towards the development of
a series of transmandibular implants which would have wide applications in a broad spectrum
of patients.
The sample consisted of forty five severely-resorbed human edentulous mandibles eminating
from people of various ages, both genders and several ethnic groups. Only 28 specimens were
accompanied by pertinent details about the deceased. Measure~ents were made in the anterior
mandibular area bounded by the mental foramina.
