title: Resorbable Mesh as a Containment System in Mandibular Reconstruction.
abstract: The recent advances seen in computer technologies and biomaterials have changed the approach to craniomaxillofacial surgery. In this report, the authors describe the technique of using a resorbable containment system for bone graft in a large mandibular reconstruction patient. The authors provide a patient report with a 1-year follow-up.
