The contribution of imaging and digitised data to mandibular reconstruction and implant stabilised occlusal rehabilitation: a case report.
Different methods are recommended for the surgical reconstruction of the resected mandible. The advantages for implant stabilised prostheses in restoring the occlusion are recognised but few papers provide adequate data to identify the successful outcome of treatment. The literature is reviewed and the advantages of imaging together with the use of digitised data is highlighted by a case requiring rehabilitation with enhanced planning methods.
