  • Title: Alloplastic implants. Their role in reconstruction of the mandible.
    Author: Taylor TD, Rieger WP.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 1994 Jan; 21(1):79-86. PubMed ID: 8112015.
    Abstract:
    This article discusses the use of osseointegrated implants in mandibular reconstruction. Although the article presents the history, indications, and complications of this technique, the primary focus of the article is the technique itself, especially how the technique varies from patients not undergoing reconstruction to those who are. The effect of radiation therapy on the treatment planning of patients undergoing reconstruction also is discussed. Intraoral soft-tissue management also is addressed, as this area often differs significantly in patients undergoing radiation therapy from that in patients not undergoing radiation therapy and reconstruction.
