Mandibular reconstruction techniques are always a challenge to oral and maxillofacial (OMF) surgeons. Techniques and treatment plans that offer the patient OMF rehabilitation should always be available. Technological innovations have enabled more rapid, safer, and secure treatment than in the past. This article describes a case using a different approach. The patient was treated with marginal mandibulectomy and immediate rehabilitation with osseointegrated implants; a hybrid prosthesis was fabricated a short time thereafter. This treatment plan demonstrated its utility and efficiency in this case. An approach with fewer surgeries and OMF rehabilitation needs be considered in all cases.
Current treatment of odontogenic tumors (OT) ranges from simple enucleation by curettage or segmental resection. But the treatment does not stop here, we need to think about the rehabilitation of the patients. The Mandibular reconstruction can begin immediately postoperatively, but the delayed reconstruction can be the best option for treatment, because of the high risk of recurrence in some OT, but it is always a challenge. The aim of this study is to describe the approach of a case of mandibular odontogenic myxoma and your total rehabilitations. The segmental hemi-mandibulectomia was performed with an intraoral. After 2 year the iliac crest grafting to intraoral approach was done and after 6 months osseointegrated implants were put and the immediate load with hybrid prostheses was done. After 2 years of complete rehabilitation we can consider that this sequence looks like to be a good form to become social, psychological, esthetic and function in the patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
