Abstract

The mandibular structures are a complex anatomical structure that is fundamental to many physiological and homeostatic functions. It may be involved in many pathological processes that require partial or complete removal. When this happens, reconstruction is mandatory to improve cosmetic outcome with its effect on social interaction as well as to provide an opportunity for complete dental rehabilitation with restoration of all physiological functions. This article will review the different reconstructive options available for complex defects of the mandibular complex. It will highlight the surgical options available to maximize functional restoration. Finally, it will discuss computer modeling to optimize reconstructive planning.
