Abstract:Our results suggest that, in cases where bone defect is over a wide area, in addition to vascularized bone grafts, secondary alveolar ridge augmentation using a titanium mesh tray and PCBM on grafted bone can provide satisfactory occlusion further to improvement of facial form.
“…Preformed trays have been replaced by custom‐made trays, and some clinical usefulness has been reported . The advantage of PCBM transplantation over autogenous free bone grafts is that the postoperative injury at the donor site is mild and special surgical procedures such as microsurgery are not needed …”
Radical mandible resection causes significant functional and cosmetic impairment. Nonvascularized bone reconstruction and oral rehabilitation using fixed prosthesis with dental implants enabled recovery of appearance and mastication function.
