Abstract

Reconstruction of maxillofacial continuity defects has invariably been a difficult task for oral and maxillofacial surgeons over the years. Maxillofacial bone defects are caused by the trauma, clefts, burns, and infection, benign, or malignant tumors. To reconstruct big bony defects within the head and neck region remains a serious surgical challenge. The goal of mandibular reconstruction is to revive facial kind and performance, implying repair of mandibular continuity, and muscle attachments. Free-flap reconstruction of oncological mandibular defects has become the fashionable common place of care. Here we are presenting a case of young female having central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) of the mandible in which reconstruction of the defect was done with free fibula flap, which was planned digitally to simulate the anatomy of mandible for better esthetic outcomes.
