title: [The use of titanium plates and endoprostheses for the mandibular condyles in reconstructive surgery of the mandible].
abstract: Potentialities of titanium plates and endoprostheses of the condyle processes in replacement of the postoperative defects of mandibular bone tissue are discussed. A recently developed Russian kit of titanium plates and instruments and specificities of plasty to repair bone defects using this kit are described. The results of surgical repair in 5 patients subjected to resection of the mandible with exarticulation for tumors or osteomyelitis aftereffects were good: the oval of the face and mandibular function were repaired.
