What Researchers Did
Researchers conducted a review discussing various aspects of mandibular reconstruction using microsurgical bone flaps and dental implants.
What They Found
The review found that microsurgical bone flaps offer a strong foundation for dental implants, which are essential for functional mandibular reconstruction. It discussed various donor sites, criteria for implant placement, timing, bone resorption, and the role of radiotherapy and hyperbaric oxygen in influencing dental implant success rates.
