Maxillofacial rehabilitation of a 7-year-old boy with osteosarcoma of the mandible using a free fibula flap and implant-supported prosthesis: a clinical report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This clinical report describes the multidisciplinary approach in the maxillofacial rehabilitation of a 7-year-old boy diagnosed with osteosarcoma of the mandible. Following surgical resection of the left half of the mandible from the angle to the parasymphyseal region, a free osseocutaneous flap from the fibula was used to successfully reconstruct the mandible. Dental implants were subsequently placed, and an implant-supported, removable mandibular resection prosthesis was fabricated. Prosthodontic planning and treatment considerations in a growing child with a reconstructed mandible are discussed.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Maxillofacial defects due to malignant or benign tumors or congenital defects often result in complications such as the impairment of facial aesthetic, mastication, speech, and swallowing. Remedy of these defects, especially in a dentate patient is an important challenge in prosthodontics. Maxillectomy can lead to severe anatomical changes f...

The fibular free flap, with or without a cutaneous component, is the gold standard for reconstructing mandibular defects. Dental prosthetic rehabilitation is possible this way, even if the prosthesis-based implant is still a challenge because of the many anatomical and prosthetic problems. We think that complications can be overcome or reduced by adopting the new methods of computed tomography ...

A 47-year-old man underwent surgical resection and reconstruction with a fibula osteocutaneous flap. After the surgery, a surgical obturator was placed and adjusted. After flap healing, a conventional obturator was fabricated with polymethyl methacrylate resin and retained by the anatomical undercuts around the reconstructed fibula bone flap and the posterior part of the defect. As the defect s...

The most common congenital and developmental anomaly in teeth is the missing of one or more of them. Congenitally missing teeth (CMT) or teeth agenesis mentions failure of tooth formation due to disturbances during the early stages of tooth germ development. There are several definitive treatment options for these patients including fixed, removable or implant-supported prostheses. Economic lim...
