Background:
For the reconstruction in the MKG surgery the microvascular transplants represent an important aspect to social, working and aesthetic functions for patients after a tumour or trauma. This study compares three different microvascular transplants.
Aim/Hypothesis:
Implants in microvascular transplants have similar results as implants in a standard situation without grafts.
Material and Methods:
Between 2001 and 2008 patients received a microvascular transplants from pelvis (7), Fibula (4) or Femur (7) and treated with implants.
Results:
All of them were compared and evaluated. Out of 16 patients with 75 implants only one had an implant loss of 4%. We achieved a healing rate of 96%.
Conclusions and clinical implications:
Microvascular transplants can be used successfully to reconstruct the alveolar ridge. The transplant can be adjusted individually in order to carry out an implant with a strong supply.
