Rehabilitation of long‐term mandibular defects by whole‐process digital fibula flap combining with implants: a case report

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Rehabilitation of long‐term mandibular defects by whole‐process digital fibula flap combining with implants: a case report via Journal of Prosthodontics Abstract Currently, the gold standard and workhorse in mandibular reconstruction is the free vascularized fibula flap. Particularly for patients who have had mandibulectomy for a long time, it is still difficult to precisely reconstruct the mandibular contour and successfully restore the patient's chewing function and aesthetics. For the restoration and rehabilitation of long-term mandibular abnormalities, 3D virtual surgical planning and 3D-printed surgical guides are essential. Digital design and manufacturing were used to improve the accuracy of prostheses, and facilitate occlusal reconstruction. Therefore, equipped with the methods of 3D virtual surgical planning, 3D printed surgical guides, free vascularized fibular flap, and immediate dental implants, this clinical report provides a feasible solution for mandibular reconstruction.
