Abstract:
The microvascular osteocutaneous fibula free flap can provide an esthetic restoration of mandibular discontinuity defects. When the graft is favorably positioned, osseointegrated implants may be placed and a functional restoration completed. When tongue function is not compromised, the patient is able to control saliva and the food bolus and can show excellent speech. This clinical implant-supported fixed prosthodontic restoration shows such treatment.
