title: Combination of microsurgical tissue reconstruction with osteointegrated dental implants. Presentation of a technique.
abstract: A technique is presented in which resected mandibles are restored with a combination of microsurgically revascularized jejunal grafts and bone grafts. The bone grafts served as a recipient for Branemark implants. The preliminary results showed that the jejunal mucosa tolerates the implants well and the masticatory function was adequately restored in the patients discussed.
