چکیده

BACKGROUND AND AIM The mandible is frequently affected by tumor masses present in the oral cavity and is included in the tumor ablation procedure, with major functional and esthetic consequences for the patient. A method of high current interest in mandibular reconstruction is based on the use of free vascularized iliac crest grafts, followed by reconstruction using dental implants. METHODS This study presents the case of four patients benefiting from this treatment method, and monitors the treatment stages and their clinical evolution after mandibular reconstruction and dental implant placement. RESULTS The postoperative evolution of the patients was favorable, with the integration of the iliac crest grafts and dental implants. After prosthetic loading, the masticatory as well as the esthetic function of the patients was restored to a standard close to the initial one. CONCLUSIONS This mandibular reconstruction method proved to be effective, with a high degree of reliability and a significant improvement of the patients' quality of life.

Reconstruction of combined oral mucosa-mandibular defects using the vascularized myoosseous iliac crest free flap.

The authors present five cases of combined oral mucosa-mandible defects reconstructed with the vascularized internal oblique-iliac crest myoosseous free flap. This technique has many advantages compared to other conventional methods such as the radial flap, scapula flap, and fibula flap. Vascularized iliac crest flaps provide sufficient high-quality bone suitable for reconstructing segmental ma...

Bilateral Distraction Osteogenesis of Vascularized Iliac Crest Free Flaps Used in Mandibular Reconstruction

Vascularized free flaps have become the gold standard in reconstructing large segmental mandibular defects; however, even when bony union and soft-tissue coverage is achieved, insufficient bone stock and altered facial contour can create functional and cosmetic problems for the patient. There have been limited case reports on the use of secondary distraction osteogenesis to address these issues...

Endosseous implant and autogenous bone graft reconstruction of mandibular discontinuity: a 12-year longitudinal study of 31 patients.

Surgical, medical, and prosthodontic records of 61 consecutively treated patients with mandibular discontinuity were reviewed retrospectively. All 61 patients had undergone discontinuity reconstruction with autogenous bone grafts; 31 of 61 had also received endosseous dental implants and a dental osseoprosthesis. Of these 31 implant-reconstructed patients, 23 had free autogenous nonvascularized...
