Abstract

The titanium-coated hollow screw and reconstruction plate system (THORP) was used in 7 selected patients; 3 of whom underwent simultaneous bone grafting and implantation of titanium fixtures for dental reconstruction.

The advantages of the system with an excellent anchorage and no loosening of the screws, the possibility of lingual application of the plate and reconstruction with a three-dimensionally free adjustable condylar prosthesis, are well demonstrated in our series with an observation period up to 2 1/2 years
