Implant mandibular rehabilitation postoncologic segmental resection: a clinical report.
Implant Dentistry 2012 April
In cases of reconstruction of a discontinuity defect of the mandible, the surgeon has a major responsibility to maximize function as well as cosmetics and to preserve quality of life, restoring mastication, speech, and appearance. Treatment of mandibular discontinuity defects is a complex process and, among other methods, includes the use of free vascularized flaps. A variety of donor sites have been used for this purpose, including the iliac crest, radius, scapula, and fibula.At this time, the iliac crest free flap represents a versatile reconstruction method after mandibular ablation. This article reports a clinical case using the iliac crest free flap for comprehensive reconstruction of discontinuity defects in the mandible after resections of an aggressive odontogenic tumor. The immediate implant positioning reduced the number of surgical procedures and the rehabilitation time.
