Mandibular ameloblastoma treated by bone resection and imediate reconstruction Summary

Nonvascularized iliac bone grafts for mandibular reconstruction--requirements and limitations.

BACKGROUND Treatment of intraoral malignant tumors often leads to continuity defects of the mandible. Whereas the use of free vascularised flaps has shortcomings regarding donor site morbidity and a worse-fitting bone geometry, the nonvascularized iliac crest graft could be an alternative option. The purpose of this study was to describe the treatment outcome with nonvascularized iliac crest gr...

Costal Grafting in Mandibular Reconstruction

BACKGROUND Reconstruction of mandibular bone defect is a common indication in craniomaxillofacial surgery, and free fibular flap is the gold standard for this indication.
