title: Endosteal implants following tumor surgery and avulsive trauma.
abstract: Endosteal implants are part of the reconstructive armamentarium used by head and neck surgical teams in cases of trauma or tumor ablation when inadequate residual anatomy prevents the fabrication of a traditional prosthesis. Three cases of implant supported prosthesis have been presented. Use of endosteal implants is an additional step toward functional reconstruction.
