Iliac Crest Grafting for Mandibular Reconstruction

摘要

Mandibular reconstruction poses significant challenges to oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The mandible is a complex three-dimensional structure with great functional and aesthetic importance. Precise anatomic restoration allows maintenance of skeletal and dental relationships and preserves aesthetics and physiologic function. The goals of mandibular reconstruction are to establish bone continuity with adequate anteroposterior and transverse relationships to the maxilla and provide a functional oromandibular complex preserving speech, mastication, and deglutition.
