Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Biomaterials in Reconstruction

Background:

  • Mandibular defects pose significant reconstruction challenges.
  • Current techniques may have limitations in restoring full mandibular function and aesthetics.
  • Need for effective, versatile reconstructive methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modified technique using free non-vascularized split ribs for mandibular defect reconstruction.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of this technique in a clinical setting.
  • To present surgical outcomes and conclusions based on patient data.

Main Methods:

  • A modified technique employing free non-vascularized split ribs, bundled tightly.
  • Simultaneous bone resection and reconstruction procedure.

  • Application in 38 patients with diverse pathological mandibular lesions over 4 years.

    • Main Results:

    • The technique proved highly effective in reconstructing various mandibular defects.
    • Achieved excellent mesio-distal spanning of defects.
    • Provided adequate mandibular height and bucco-lingual thickness restoration.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified split rib graft technique is a viable and effective option for mandibular reconstruction.
    • The method leverages multiple osteogenesis principles for enhanced bone regeneration.
    • Successful application demonstrated in a cohort of 38 patients.
