Abstract: Objective To investigate the anatomical features of iliac bone grafts used for mandibular reconstruction and dental implantation.Methods Sixteen cadavers were dissected.The length,width,height and cortical thickness of the iliac bone were measured with respect to points determined by the relative dimensions of the bone.Results The length of iliac bone graft was (77.2 ± 6.1) mm.The height was from(38.2 ±4.2) mm to (41.9 ±4.7) mm.The width decreased from iliac crest to base line.The least width 10 mm and 15 mm away from iliac crest were (8.4 ±2.2) mm and(6.5 ±2.1) mm respectively.The greatest mean cross-sectional cortical thickness at the intermediate line of the iliac crest was (3.4 ± 0.8) mm.Conclusions Anatomical features of iliac bone are suitable for designing bone grafts for mandibular reconstruction followed by dental implantation.
