    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Head and Neck Oncology
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Mandibular reconstruction after cancer resection poses significant challenges in head and neck surgery.
    • Achieving both aesthetic and functional restoration requires a multidisciplinary approach.

    Observation:

    • This study details a planned, staged reconstruction protocol involving close collaboration between surgeons and prosthodontists.
    • Key elements include intermaxillary fixation during tumor resection, delayed bone grafting, and preprosthetic surgery for denture use.

    Findings:

    • The staged method was applied to 58 patients, demonstrating its feasibility and effectiveness.
    • The protocol aims to stabilize remaining mandibular segments and facilitate functional rehabilitation.

    Implications:

    • This reconstructive strategy offers a viable solution for patients undergoing mandibulectomy for cancer.
    • Improved cosmetic and functional results can be achieved through this coordinated surgical and prosthodontic approach.
