Abstract:
Reconstruction was carried out on eleven patients using a vascularized full thickness calvarial bone flap following partial maxillectomy. The donor site was covered with a split calvarial bone graft. Intraorally a mucosal transposition flap was used to cover the graft. Six months later implants were inserted and were allowed to heal for three months before dental rehabilitation began. No serious complications were encountered.
