Combination of microsurgical tissue reconstruction with osteointegrated dental implants. Presentation of a technique

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1990 Aug;19(4):209-11. doi: 10.1016/s0901-5027(05)80393-5.

Abstract

A technique is presented in which resected mandibles are restored with a combination of microsurgically revascularized jejunal grafts and bone grafts. The bone grafts served as a recipient for Branemark implants. The preliminary results showed that the jejunal mucosa tolerates the implants well and the masticatory function was adequately restored in the patients discussed.
