Oral rehabilitation with osseointegrated implants in oncologic patients.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The esthetic and functional rehabilitation of oncologic patients subjected to major resection surgery constitutes one of the greatest challenges for the head and neck surgeon. Immediate bone reconstruction with microsurgical free tissue ... Read more...

A novel approach to palatomaxillary reconstruction: use of radial forearm free tissue transfer combined with zygomaticus implants.

30 Oct 2009 Pathologic resections involving the maxilla/hemimaxilla offer a unique reconstructive challenge to the maxillofacial reconstructive surgeon. Traditionally, reconstruction and replacement of lost tissues have been achieved with a variety of methods ... Read more...

A new approach for reconstruction of a severely atrophic mandible.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to report a case of a patient with a severely atrophic mandible (less than 5 mm) who was treated without bone graft using short implants and internal rigid fixation. PATIENT AND METHODS: A 61-year-old woman was ... Read more...
