Abstract:
This report describes the surgical and prosthetic reconstruction of a partial mandibular resection due to an osteomyelitic variant with a free fibula microvascular graft, dental implant placement, and reconstruction with a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) partial fixed dental prosthesis. A team composed of a prosthodontist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and otolaryngologist was required to treat and restore the patient to near normal comfort and function.
