Abstract

Malignant tumors of the lower oral cavity with infiltration of the mandible frequently require segmental bone resections. The resulting loss of continuity in the mandibular arch causes a significant functional and esthetic deficit. A decisive step in the improvement of quality of life in these patients was the development of alloplastic defect bridging devices. Various techniques and materials can be applied.1–8
