title: Implant prosthetic rehabilitation with a free fibula flap and interpositional bone grafting after a mandibulectomy: a clinical report.
abstract: This clinical report describes the multidisciplinary treatment of a 16-year-old girl diagnosed with cemento-ossifying fibroma in the mandible. The resection of the lesion and reconstruction with a free osseous fibula flap with microvascular anastomosis was performed. Four months later, interpositional bone grafting of iliac spongy bone was used to gain bone height at the treated site. Twenty-four months later, 5 dental implants were placed. After a 6-month osseointegration period, a partial screw-retained fixed dental prosthesis was fabricated. Prosthodontic planning and treatment considerations are discussed.
