The premises of mandibular reconstruction are the restoration of occlusion and mandibular contour for the purpose of preserving the facial identity, oral airway, and effective speech and mastication. ...
Odontogenic keratocyst is one of the most common benign odontogenic neoplasms with a high recurrence rate. Its resection has the potential to lead to mandibular segmental defects. In this case report,...
This case report describes a 19-year-old woman with odontogenic keratocyst of the mandible that recurred after multiple curettages and eventually necessitated radical resection. Mandibular segmental d...
Imaging plays a critical role in the diagnosis, staging, and management of segmental mandibular defects. Imaging allows mandibular defects to be classified which aids in microvascular free flap recons...
The study aims to compare differences among iliac bone flaps with different iliac crest orientations for the repair of mandibular defects with an aim to analyze their advantages, disadvantages, and ef...
Clinical data and computed tomography scans of all patients who underwent iliac bone flap repair of the mandible in Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from January 2016 to April 2021...
The study included 78 patients (25 and 53 in groups A and B, respectively). The symmetry of the LC-type defect was better in group A (p < 0.05). The all-bone width of the alveolar process side in grou...
One year after the mandibular body defect was reconstructed with a vascularized iliac bone flap, the iliac crest towards alveolar process group showed better bone symmetry, width, intermaxillary dista...
The use of an iliac crest towards alveolar process may be a better approach for mandible reconstruction....
The fibula flap has been the workhorse flap for mandibular reconstruction. However, relationships among the bone, skin, and vessels raise concerns about donor-side selection. This study aimed to clari...
Between September 2013 and June 2021, 61 cases of fibula osteoseptocutaneous flaps for mandibular and intraoral reconstruction were categorized into the landing-down (N = 25) and swing-up (N = 36) gro...
Overall, seven (11%) flaps developed skin necrosis, including four partial and three total necrosis. The skin necrosis rate was higher in the swing-up than in the landing-down group (19% vs. 0%, p = 0...
When using the fibula osteoseptocutaneous flap for mandibular and intraoral reconstructions, ensuring that the skin is properly located within the oral cavity could reduce the risk of skin necrosis....
Mandibular tumors in the pediatric population are rare. These malignancies are variable in their histology, and combined with their rarity, has made it difficult to describe their clinical course, and...
A retrospective search was performed for mandibular malignancies in pediatric patients between 1995 and 2020 via the pathological database at Boston Children's Hospital. Only patients with malignant s...
The median age at presentation was 10.1 ± 10.3 years. Nine of 15 patients (60%) presented with jaw mass which was the most common clinical presentation. The most commonly identified histological diagn...
Malignant tumors most commonly present with a jaw mass, however asymptomatic and incidental presentations follow closely and pathologies can vary greatly. Surgical resection and reconstruction is ofte...
Mechanical and morphological factors have both been described to influence the rate of pseudarthrosis in mandibular reconstruction. By minimizing mechanical confounders, the present study aims to eval...
Patients were screened retrospectively for undergoing multi-segment fibula free flap reconstruction of the mandible including the anterior part of the mandible and osteosynthesis using patient-specifi...
The bone interface (p = 0.223) did not significantly impact the change in bone volume at the intersegmental gap. Radiotherapy (p < 0.001), time between CBCT scans (p = 0.006) and wound healing disorde...
The bone interface at the intersegmental gap in mandibular reconstruction did not influence long-term bone healing significantly. Mechanical and clinical properties seem to be more relevant for surgic...
Osteoma is a benign osteogenic tumour. Solitary osteoma of the jaws usually involves the mandible and commonly remains asymptomatic. Purpose of this article is to report a case of life-threatening gig...
Bone resorption of more conventional vascularized bone grafts have been well described showing minimal resorption over time. Few studies have evaluated osseous union and bone resorption in scapula tip...
Retrospective chart review of patients receiving STFF from January 2014-January 2017 (n = 25). A neuroradiologist analyzed follow-up CT scans to assess (1) STFF complete, partial, or no osseous union ...
Twenty-three of 25 patients (92%) showed complete or partial STFF osseous union with native mandible either distally or proximally. STFF volume change ranged from +4.8 to -54% (median -0.5%) over medi...
STFFs shows high rates of osseous union and limited bone resorption that is equivalent to, or less than, vascularized fibular and iliac crest flaps. Clinically, this translates into both optimal heali...

BACKGROUND Ameloblastoma is a locally aggressive, benign, odontogenic tumor. Reports suggest that the chances of recurrence of this tumor are high if treated with a conservative approach. Concordantly...
