Achieving adequate fixation of bone blocks harvested from the mandibular symphysis and used in conjunction with dental implants has been a continuing challenge. In response, the Authors developed a method of using the implant itself to stabilize the graft material in single-implant sites in severely resorbed alveolar ridges. This technique was utilized to place 19 standard implants in 15 patients. After 12 to 60 months of clinical and radiological follow-up, all implants had survived, a success rate of 100%. Measurements of the radiographs showed bone loss of 1.70 mm ± 0.4 mm.
