ABSTRACT
La prótesis HTR-PMI (hard tissue replacement - patient matched implant) es una prótesis reconstructiva compuesta por una combinación de materiales: un polímero de polimetilmetacrilato y polihidroxietilmetacrilato, no reabsorbible, biocompatible, aloplástico, indicado para la reparación de defectos esqueletales. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un caso clínico de reconstrucción mandibular post-osteomielitis de injerto libre de cresta ilíaca, por resección de un ameloblastoma invasivo, con un seguimiento de 7 años. El uso de este tipo de prótesis ofrece una alternativa más para la reconstrucción de grandes defectos.

The IMZ-implant is indicated for the edentulous lower jaw as well as for the shortened arch. The insertion technique is rather simple due to the advantage of using standard instruments with all implant types. It is atraumatic because of the internal cooling system as well as the gentle press fit of the implant. It is also predictable with the unloaded healing period under the gingival protection. The prosthetic restoration used with this implant system is simple, economical and similar to the conventional denture hence with a bar attachement
