  • Title: Mandibular reconstruction using silicone: fifteen-year follow-up.
    Author: McKenzie ML.
    Journal: Plast Reconstr Surg; 1984 Oct; 74(4):531-4. PubMed ID: 6237379.
    Abstract:
    A patient is presented in whom a carved Dacron felt-covered silicone prosthesis was used to replace the mandible. Although not recommended as the procedure of choice for mandibular reconstruction, the prosthesis remains in place 15 years following implantation, the jaw appears and moves satisfactorily, and speech is within normal limits.
