ABSTRACT
Experience gained with the repair of the defects of the long process of the incus with ionomer cement in 35 patients is reported. The integrity of the reconstructed tympanic membrane and the four-frequency average of the air-bone gaps of the postoperative audiograms (best, most recent and at around 1 year) were evaluated. This 'physiological' reconstruction of the ossicular chain fulfilled our expectations in 40% of the patients (air-bone gap = 10 dB). The background of the unsuccessful cases was investigated.
