Abstract
Introduction
Grafts bone removed of the symphysis or mandibular ramus can be used for reconstruction located defect jaws to allow adequate installation of dental implants.
Objective
This study aims evaluate the occurrence of complications associated with donor and receptor sites of mandibular bone graft and survival of dental implants these reconstructed sites.
Material and method
Evaluated seven hundred thirty records of patients submitted treatment with dental implants. This universe, seventy-two patients of both genders, was submitted bone reconstruction with graft removed from the symphysis or the mandibular ramus.
Result
Thirteen complications were observed and there was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of complications of donor and recipient areas and survival of dental implants installed in sites reconstruction with mandibular bone graft.
Conclusion
The mandibular bone grafts allow the reconstruction of defects located in jaws and don't risk factors for failure of dental implants.
