This case report describes a tissue-engineered reconstruction with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2/acellular collagen sponge (rhBMP-2/ ACS) + cancellous allograft and space maintenance via Medpor Contain mesh in the treatment of a patient requiring maxillary and mandibular horizontal ridge augmentation to enable implant placement. The patient underwent a previously unsuccessful c...

this case report presents a combination of surgical and prosthetic solutions applied to a case of oral implant rehabilitation in post-oncologic reconstructed mandible. bone resection due to surgical treatment of large mandibular neoplasm can cause long-span defects. currently, mandibular fibula free flap graft is widely considered as a reliable technique for restoring this kind of defect. it re...

Surgical resection of the mandible due to presence of benign or malignant tumor is the most common cause of the mandibular deviation. Depending upon the location and extent of the tumor in the mandible, various surgical treatment modalities like marginal, segmental, hemi, subtotal, or total mandibulectomy can be performed. The clinicians must wait for extensive period of time for completion of ...

There are some difficulties in approaching and removing the lesion in infratemporal fossa because of its anatomical location. After wide excision of tumor lesion, it is also difficult for reconstruction of mandibular condyle and cranium base on infratemporal fossa. Besides, there are some possibilities of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, intracranial infection and bone resorption. It is also challe...

Mandibular reconstruction today is still one of the larger challenges in cranio maxillofacial surgery. Quality of life can be extremely reduced by tissue defects in the mandible region, whether caused by trauma or tumour; it is a central concern of all CMF surgeons to improve mandibular reconstruction. Over the last few years rapid progress in CAD/CAM techniques were made. Patient specific reco...

Ameloblatoma is a benign odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin, with specific clinical features as cortical expansion, painless, associated with tooth displacement and root resorption. Ameloblastoma treatment is controversial. There are conservative and aggressive treatment options, ranging from a simple enucleation associated or not with curettage to a complete mandibular resection with secur...

INTRODUCTION: The goal of this proposal is to therapeutically reverse the damaging effects of radiotherapy on bone formation and healing to enable non-vascularized grafting in irradiated bone. Utilizing a rodent model of mandibular bone grafting, we quantified metrics of diminished graft take and bone healing in response to radiation treatment. Subsequently, we utilized implantable deferoxamine...
