Abstract

A mandibular staple bone plate including a support plate having mounting posts attached thereto which extend through the lower jawbone onto which standardized mounting means, embedded within a denture, may be mounted. The mounting means carried thereon engage the top of the mounting posts which extend through the jaw and into the mouth. Additionally, a gauge plate, which may be placed over the mounting posts in a fashion similar to the appliance plate, is used to determine the proper length for the mounting posts prior to mounting the appliance plate on the posts.
