Já o Load-Bearing é resistente e rígido o suficiente para suportar toda a carga gerada à mandíbula, tratam-se de placas de reconstrução de 2,4 mm a 3,0 mm, tendo como indicação fraturas com cominuições e pequena superfície óssea devido a atrofia ou danos, resultando em uma perda da porção mandíbular 7,13 .…”
