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.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.Anatomical features of iliac bone are suitable for designing bone grafts for mandibular reconstruction followed by dental implantation.Read More
