Functional reconstruction of the jaws: new concepts.
This paper describes the surgical reconstruction of the maxilla and mandible after ablative surgery. The methods described are original and recently developed with illustrative clinical data presented. Presurgical planning of the occlusion, titanium mesh design supporting the bone graft, and implant-borne prostheses are integral elements of the concepts described to achieve functional reconstruction of the jaws.
