Prefabricated Fibula Flap vs Bone-Driven and Delayed Implant Installation for Jaw Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Restoration of dental occlusion and oral rehabilitation is the ultimate goal of functional jaw reconstruction.

Objective

To evaluate the prefabricated fibula flap (PFF) technique in occlusion-driven jaw reconstruction for benign or previously treated malignant disease.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study was conducted from January 2000 to December 2019 at the University of Alberta Hospital and Institute of Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, among patients who underwent PFF or bone-driven and delayed osseointegrated implant installation (BDD). Patients were followed up for a minimum of 1 year after occlusal rehabilitation. Data were analyzed from July 2021 to June 2022.

Exposures
