title: Mandibular reconstruction using the skeletal pin fixation system.
abstract: Excellent results were obtained in mandibular reconstruction by using the skeletal pin fixation system. The remaining bone was fixed before segmental resection. Case 1 was a 35-year-old male with a cementifying fibroma in the 2/6 region. We used the HH type pin fixation system and Kirschner wire (diameter 3.0 mm) for the fixation of the mandibular resection end. Case 2 was a 51-year-old male with an ameloblastoma in the 6/4 region. We used the HY type pin fixation system before mandibular resection. Case 3 was a 45-year-old female with an ossifying fibroma in the 6/4 region. The same fixation system was used as in case 2. In all cases, mandibular reconstruction was carried out with iliac bone graft and A-O plate.
