Mandibular reconstruction with fibula osteoseptocutaneous free flap and osseointegrated dental implants. [Case Reports, Journal Article]
Clin Plast Surg 2001 Apr; 28(2):403-10.
The fibula osteoseptocutaneous free flap is ideal for reconstruction of composite mandible defects. Osseointegration is possible and advantageous. Primary osseointegration of dental implants is a safe and reliable procedure in selected groups of patients, promoting early total oral rehabilitation with restoration of both function and cosmesis. Further studies are necessary to assess the specific indications for osseointegration teeth in patients with malignant tumors and in those patients who have received radiation therapy.
