Abstract
Following positive experience with rigid internal fixation in the treatment of mandibular fractures (Spiessl and Schroll, 1972) , the method of functionally rigid implantation was successfully introduced (Spiessl, 1974). This raised the question of the conditions for implantation offered by the bony structure of the lower jaw. By means of a histologic-morphometric investigation of the bony structure of edentulous and fully dentulous mandibles, the present paper attempts to provide some initial basic facts to answer the question.
