title: Oral rehabilitation with endosteal implants and free flaps.
abstract: Current management of oral cancer following tumour resection includes reconstruction of the surgical defect with free vascularized flaps and rehabilitation of orofacial form and function with the aid of endosteal implants. The choice of flap for reconstruction influences the use of implants, and further hard- and soft-tissue surgery is frequently required to enhance the success of oral rehabilitation.
