Introduction: Mandibular continuity defects are frequently caused by tumour removal or significant trauma. Reconstructive procedures of segmental mandible defects often require bone graft harvesting, which results in donor site morbidity;…
After extraction of posterior mandibular teeth the posterior dentoalveolar maxillary extrusion is common finding in edentulous patients, in this conditions if the posterior maxillary teeth were lost the initial decrease…
Introduction: Hydraulic procedures are reported to avoid any tearing forces on the sinus membrane. Hydrodynamic ultrasonic cavitational sinuslift (HUCSL) uses an ultrasonic oscillating water column to lift up the sinus…
The aim of this paper is to present the two cases with extensive ameloblastomas of the mandible requiring immediate reconstruction. Patients with mandibular ameloblastomas diagnosed histopathologically were treated in Kingston…
Nowadays, it is well known that microsurgical jaw reconstruction with free fibula flap is a reliable therapeutic method. Only 25% of the patients obtain a complete oral rehabilitation and the…
Introduction: In many cases of the oral tumors it is technically possible to perform intraoral resection. If reconstruction with free flap is necessary, we need to expose donor vessels usually…
The process of reconstruction in the maxillofacial region, not just about restoring the anatomical structures in need, but also to restore function on an anatomical structure with new elements and…
Introduction: The reconstruction of a mandibular defect remains a significant challenge to the reconstructive surgeon. The aim of this study is to describe the experience of a Nigerian tertiary hospital…
The use of osteointegrated implants to rehabilitate large bone defects is still a challenge for surgeons. This is a good option of anchorage to provide support for a maxillary-dental-facial prosthesis…
Techniques of mandibular reconstruction have improved, and better responses have been achieved after the development of reconstruction plates. Several brands have defined criteria, and accurate prognoses can be made. However,…
