title: [Mandibular reconstruction. An historical overview].
abstract: In a historical review the most important technologies and auxiliary materials for lower jaw reconstruction are demonstrated and discussed. Personally developed implants for anatomical and functional reconstruction of the continuity and rigidity based on the latest experiences of bone surgery, are presented. The results of this development are demonstrated by several steps of mandibular reconstruction in a special clinical case. The discussion deals with the conclusions drawn from the historical review in comparison to our own clinical results.
