[Mandibular reconstruction using a metallo-acrylic implant prosthesis in oncology. Apropos of 40 cases].
The authors report on 40 cases using acrylic-metal prosthesis after ablative cancer surgery and compare them with the literature. The long-term complications (prosthesis extrusion or infection) are important, but the short-term follow-up (3 months) is more than 80% of success, any material used. The prosthesis keep a physiological position to the mandible, against scar sequelae. The use of soft tissue closure without post-operative radiotherapy increase the success of a simple-used and low-priced device of mandibular reconstruction.
