RESUMEN
Many options exist in the diagnosis and management of condylar osteochondroma. The purpose of this study was to provide a congregate information concerning treatment of the osteochondroma involving the mandibular condyle. The search was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and Cochrane database until February 2022. Twenty-seven studies were included for the final review. The review included 439 patients who underwent surgical management for mandibular condylar osteochondroma. The position of osteochondroma was mentioned in 13 studies. Preauricular, retromandibular, endaural, submandibular, transzygomatic, and intraoral approaches were used for approaching the tumor. Surgical techniques included resection, conservative condylectomy, and total condylectomy. Concomitant orthognathic surgery was performed along with tumor resection in 19 studies. In the entire review, the recurrence rate was 0.22% (1/439). The results of the meta-analysis showed that 2 studies reported significant malocclusion events after surgical therapy. Total joint replacement after tumor resection has a higher improvement in maximal mouth opening (8 mm) compared with vertical ramus osteotomy and no reconstruction groups, which have similar improvements (6 mm). The mainstay of treatment of osteochondroma is surgical excision either as condylectomy or conservative condylectomy. Among the various reconstruction modalities, total joint replacement showed better improvement in mouth opening. Adjunct procedures like orthodontic and orthognathic surgery have an important role in holistic management of severe cases. The treating surgeon must choose the surgical procedures in a pragmatic way.

Introduction: Rare FGF23-producing mesenchymal tumors lead to paraneoplastic tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) presenting with phosphate wasting, hypophosphatemia, chronic hypomineralization of the bone, fragility fractures and muscle weakness. Diagnosis of TIO requires exclusion of other etiologies and careful search for a mesenchymal tumor that often is very small and can appear anywhere in the body. Surgical removal of the tumor is the only definitive treatment of TIO. Surgical complications due to chronic hypophosphatemia are not well recognized. Case Description: The current case describes severe fragility fractures in a 58-year-old woman, who lost her ability to walk and was bedridden for two years. First, the initial diagnostic laboratory work-up did not include serum phosphorus measurements, second, the suspicion of adverse effects of pioglitazone as an underlying cause delayed correct diagnosis for at least two years. After biochemical discovery of hyperphosphaturic hypophosphatemia at a tertiary referral centre, a FGF23-producing tumor of the mandible was discovered on physical examination, and then surgically removed. Postoperatively, severe hypophosphatemia and muscle weakness prolonged the need for ventilation support, intensive care and phosphate supplementation. After two years of rehabilitation, the patient was able to walk short distances. The tumor has not recurred, and serum phosphate concentration has remained within normal limits during 3.5 years of follow-up. Conclusions: The case report illustrates knowledge gaps in the diagnostic work-up of rare causes of low bone mass and fragility fractures. Compared to other low phosphate conditions, surgical recovery from TIO-induced hypophosphatemia warrants special attention. Increased alkaline phosphatase concentration may indicate impaired postsurgical recovery due to prolonged hypophosphatemia, underlining the need for proactive perioperative correction of hypophosphatemia.

Cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is the most common benign fibro-osseous lesion of the jaws and generally considered non-neoplastic and self-limited. Here, we present a 30-year old female who noticed a bilateral swelling of her posterior mandible with irregular periapical mineralization and incomplete root resorption on panoramic radiographs. A biopsy revealed florid COD and no further treatment was initiated. 9 years later, she presented with a progressive expansion of her left posterior mandible after being treated for bilateral breast cancer 4 and 8 years before. CT scans showed expansile and densely mineralized lesions in all four quadrants with the left posterior mandible showing a focal penetration of the buccal cortical bone. Biopsies revealed an osteoblastic high-grade osteosarcoma in the left and a COD in the right mandible, notably with cellular atypia in the spindle cell component. The patient underwent segmental resection of the left mandible with clear margins and adjuvant chemotherapy. Subsequent genetic testing identified a heterozygous germline TP53 mutation (p.V173G) which confirmed the clinically suspected Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). 3 years after the resection, the patient is free of disease and the other foci of COD remained stable in size on follow-up imaging analyses. Our case illustrates LFS-related osteosarcoma developing within florid COD. Given the rarity of this coincidence, a causative relation between the two lesions seems unlikely but in patients with tumor predisposition syndromes it might be advisable to closely monitor even benign lesions like COD.

Introduction: The inhibition of osteoclastic activity, associated with different treatment modalities in patients with head and neck cancer, make bones unable to respond to repair processes related to physiological traumas or infection and may result in bone necrosis. The present study aims to report a clinical case of osteoradionecrosis in mandible, and how its sequels were controlled by ozonotherapy. Case report: A 73-year-old female patient with infiltrative ductal breast carcinoma with mandibular metastasis was submitted to chemo and radiotherapy at head and neck region associated with bisphosphonate. Three years later, she was diagnosed with hemimandibular osteoradionecrosis that exhibited communication with oral cavity and with a chronic, suppurative and persistent associated infection. It was applied adjuvant therapy with ozone through the cutaneous fistula and the exposed and necrotic bone. Additionally, non-vital bone debridement was proceeded in two surgical steps. The patient is after a 1-year follow-up non-symptomatic. Conclusion: It is supposed that ozonotherapy, due to its antibacterial and immunoregulatory mechanism of action, was an important therapeutic agent for improving the patient's quality of life.
Introdução: A inibição da atividade osteoclástica, associada a diversas modalidades de tratamento utilizadas em pacientes com câncer de cabeça e pescoço, torna o osso incapaz de responder aos processos de reparo relacionados a traumas fisiológicos ou à infecção, e pode resultar em necrose óssea. O presente estudo tem como objetivo relatar um caso clínico de osteonecrose em mandíbula como consequência do uso de bisfosfonato associado à quimioterapia e à radioterapia para tratamento de câncer de mama com metástase para mandíbula, tendo suas sequelas controladas por meio do uso da ozonioterapia. Relato do caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 73 anos, com história de carcinoma ductal infiltrante de mama com metástase óssea em mandíbula, a qual foi submetida ao tratamento de quimioterapia e radioterapia em região de cabeça e pescoço; três anos depois, foi diagnosticada com osteonecrose da hemimandíbula direita com exposição completa para a cavidade bucal e infecção crônica, supurativa e persistente. Foi realizada terapia adjuvante com aplicação de ozônio nas fístulas cutâneas e no remanescente ósseo exposto e necrosado, além do desbridamento dos sequestros ósseos em duas etapas cirúrgicas. Paciente encontra-se em acompanhamento há 1 ano, sem sintomatologia associada. Conclusão: Observou-se que a ozonioterapia, em razão da sua ação antibacteriana e cicatrizante, foi um importante agente terapêutico para a melhora da qualidade de vida da paciente.
Introducción: La inhibición de la actividad osteoclástica, asociada con las diversas modalidades de tratamiento utilizadas por los pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello, hace que el hueso no pueda responder a los procesos de reparación relacionados con traumas o infecciones fisiológicas y puede provocar necrosis ósea.

La terapia láser de baja frecuencia (TLBF) o fotobioestimulación es aquella que cuya luz provoca la regeneración y remodelación ósea, la restauración de la función neural, la disminución del dolor y la modulación del sistema inmune; esta terapia es un coadyuvante junto a la terapia conservadora y/o quirúrgica. Se considera un estándar de oro para el manejo del dolor en la osteonecrosis en aquellos pacientes que consumen o han consumido bifosfonatos como terapia para inhibir la resorción ósea. La Sociedad Americana de Investigación de Hueso y Minerales (SAIHM) definió la osteonecrosis mandibular como «un área de hueso expuesto en la región maxilofacial que no cicatriza dentro de las ocho semanas posteriores a la identificación, en un paciente que está recibiendo o ha estado expuesto a bifosfonatos y que no ha recibido radioterapia en la región craneofacial¼. En este reporte presentamos dos casos de pacientes con osteonecrosis mandibular relacionada a bifosfonatos tratados con TLBF. Se evaluó el dolor antes y después de la terapia con la escala visual análoga (EVA). Ambos casos tuvieron disminución del dolor al 100%. Se presentan los métodos de diagnóstico clínico y radiográfico, el tratamiento elegido y los resultados obtenidos (AU)
Low level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiostimulation is one whose light causes bone regeneration and remodeling, restoration of neural function, reduction of pain, and modulation of the immune system; this therapy is an adjuvant together with conservative and / or surgical therapy. It is considered a gold standard for pain management in osteonecrosis in those patients who consume or have used bisphosphonates as antiresorptive therapy. The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) defined osteonecrosis of the jaw as «an area of exposed bone in the maxillofacial region that does not heal within eight weeks after identiï¬cation by a health care provider, in a patient who was receiving or had been exposed to a BP and who has not received radiation therapy to the craniofacial region¼. In this report we present two cases of patients with mandibular osteonecrosis related to bisphosphonates treated with LLLT. Pain before and after visual analogue scale (VAS) was evaluated. Both cases had pain reduction at 100%. The methods of clinical and radiographic diagnosis, the treatment chosen and the results obtained are presented (AU)

A discrete dysplastic lesion of the mandible found in a skeleton of a young adult male of the Middle Bronze Age in the Northern Caucasus/Russia is described. The periapical lesion of the right lower canine alveolus was examined by digital microscopy, plain radiology, and plain and polarizing microscopy. Its macroscopic, radiologic and microscopic characteristics are discussed in reference to different fibro-osseous lesions arising from the odontogenic apparatus and maxillofacial skeleton. Periapical osseous dysplasia was considered to be the most likely diagnosis.

Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare cause of hypophosphatemia involving overproduction of fibroblast growth factor 23. TIO has been described largely in adults with small mesenchymal tumors. We report a case of TIO in a child who presented with knee pain and radiographic findings concerning for rickets, and was found to have maxillomandibular giant cell lesions. The patient was treated with oral phosphorus and calcitriol, surgical debulking, and intralesional corticosteroids, which resulted in tumor regression and normalization of serum fibroblast growth factor 23 and phosphorus. This case illustrates the occurrence of this rare paraneoplastic syndrome in children and adds to our knowledge about clinical manifestations and pathologic findings associated with pediatric TIO.

Extensive resection of tumor often results in bone and soft tissue defects that cause functional and esthetic consequences. The reconstructive surgery is extremely important for the rehabilitation of these patients. The purpose of this study is to report on the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy (HBO) in the case of a large ameloblastoma treated with segmental resection and reconstructed immediately with nonvascularized bone graft (NVBGs) from iliac crest. A 41-year-old woman was referred to our department because of paresthesia of the inferior alveolar nerve and history of swelling in the molar and ramus region of the left mandible. Panoramic radiograph depicting well-defined multilocular radiolucency extending from second pre-molar region to the left ramus region. An incisional biopsy confirms the diagnosis of solid ameloblastoma. The treatment of choice was segmental mandibular resection and immediate mandibular reconstruction using NVBGs from iliac crest, followed by removal of internal fixation and placement of dental implants with immediate loading. The patient received preoperative HBO (a 90-min session at 2.2-2.4 atmospheres, five times per week for two weeks, for a total of up to 10 sessions). Postoperative HBO (10 further 90-min sessions) was administered within 2weeks. The patient received rehabilitation with a mandibular implant-supported fixed complete dental prosthesis. The present study showed successful management of mandibular ameloblastoma that associated extensive surgery, immediate reconstruction with NVBGs from iliac crest, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and dental implants. These combined procedures allowed removal of lesion and reestablishment of mandibular contour and function.
La resección extensa de un tumor a menudo da lugar a defectos del hueso y de los tejidos blandos, que causan consecuencias funcionales y estéticas. La cirugía reconstructiva es extremadamente importante para la rehabilitación de estos pacientes. El propósito de este estudio fue informar sobre el uso de la terapia de oxígeno hiperbárico (HBO) en un caso de un ameloblastoma de gran tamaño, tratado con resección segmentaria y reconstruido inmediatamente con injerto óseo no vascularizado (IONV) de la cresta ilíaca. Una mujer de 41 años fue derivada a nuestro servicio por parestesia del nervio alveolar inferior e historia de hinchazón en la región molar y ramina de la mandíbula izquierda. Radiografía panorámica que muestra una radiolucencia multilocular bien definida que se extiende desde la segunda región pre-molar hasta la región de la rama izquierda. Una biopsia incisional confirma el diagnóstico de ameloblastoma sólido. El tratamiento de elección fue la resección mandibular segmentaria y la reconstrucción mandibular inmediata mediante IONV de cresta ilíaca, seguido de la eliminación de la fijación interna y la colocación de implantes dentales con carga inmediata. La paciente recibió OHB preoperatoria (una sesión de 90 minutos a 2.2-2.4 atmósferas, cinco veces por semana durante dos semanas, para un total de hasta 10 sesiones). La OHB postoperatoria (10 sesiones adicionales de 90 minutos) se administró en 2 semanas. La paciente recibió rehabilitación con una prótesis dental fija con implante mandibular. El presente estudio mostró un manejo exitoso del ameloblastoma mandibular asociado a una cirugía extensa, reconstrucción inmediata con IONV de cresta ilíaca, oxigenoterapia hiperbárica e implantes dentales. Estos procedimientos combinados permitieron la extirpación de la lesión y el restablecimiento del contorno y la función mandibular.

PURPOSE: Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma (PIOSCC) is a rare malignant odontogenic tumor that originates from odontogenic epithelial remnants. It is often difficult to diagnose PIOSCC definitively; hence, extraction or surgical treatment is performed before the initial diagnosis in most cases. The present study examined new insights into and prognostic factors of patients with PIOSCC admitted to the authors' department. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An extensive record review was conducted of patients who underwent radical surgery for PIOSCC from January 2001 through December 2014. RESULTS: Of all cases of OSCC, the frequency of PIOSCC was 1.45%. The 2-year relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 50.0 and 41.6% in all cases, respectively. Three patients underwent surgery or tooth extraction before the initial diagnosis; in fact, intervention before initial diagnosis was found to be an important poor prognostic factor for RFS and OS. In contrast, patients who were not treated before the initial diagnosis was made did not exhibit any locoregional recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: The treatment of PIOSCC should be similar to that for oral cancer with at least clinical stage T3N0 in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network clinical practice guidelines. In addition, cases of PIOSCC that are not treated before the initial diagnosis are more likely to obtain a good prognosis.

Los hemangiomas son neoplasias benignas de origen endotelial, formadoras de vasos. Los hemangiomas intraóseos son condiciones raras que comprenden del 0.5 a 1% de todos los tumores intraóseos. Su localización más común es la columna vertebral y los huesos del cráneo. Aquéllos que se presentan en los maxilares son tumores muy raros. Dos tercios de éstos se localizan en la mandíbula, con una proporción de mujer a hombre de 2:1. El objetivo de este artículo es reportar un caso signifi cativo de un hemangioma central de grandes dimensiones de la rama de la mandíbula del lado derecho, el cual fuetratado exitosamente con resección quirúrgica y ligadura de vasos nutricionales. Caso clínico: Paciente de 14 años que presenta un área radiolúcida unilocular en la rama mandibular del lado derecho. Clínicamente se observa aumento de la cara difuso, que causa asimetría facialasintomática de tres años de evolución. Conclusiones: La importancia del hemangioma intraóseo de los maxilares radica en su proximidad con los dientes, lo que representa un alto riesgo de sangrado debido a cualquier traumatismo por intento de extracción. El diagnóstico de hemangioma intraóseo, debido a su baja incidencia e inusual manera de presentación, es un reto diagnóstico...

This case history report describes two different devices, maxillary ramp prostheses (MRP) and mandibular guide flange prostheses (MGFP), prescribed for managing a hemimandibulectomy patient's deviated mandible. The patient was given muscle reprogramming exercises with coordinated use of both guidance prostheses for 2 months, leading to improvements in both postsurgical mandibular deviation and occlusal equilibration. A successful intercuspal position was eventually accomplished through the use of the combination therapy. MRP and MGFP can be a useful approach to avoid mandibular deviation and compromised function following a partial mandibular resection.

OBJECTIVES: Segmental resection of the mandible causes functional, aesthetic and social problems affecting health-related quality of life (HRQoL). It is often assumed that reconstruction with composite free flaps guarantees better function and aesthetics than bridging the defect with reconstruction plates. METHODS: Using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30 version 3.0 and EORTC QLQ-H&N35), we compared HRQoL in patients who received free fibula flaps versus reconstruction plates after segmental resection of the lateral mandible. RESULTS: Thirty-seven completed questionnaires (18 fibula reconstructions and 19 patients with reconstruction plates) were available. Reconstruction with a free fibula flap did not provide clear additional benefit to bridging the defect with a reconstruction plate after segmental resection of the lateral mandible. In particular aspects known to have the most impact on HRQoL like swallowing, speech and chewing were not influenced by the type of reconstruction. CONCLUSIONS: Reconstruction of segmental defects of the lateral mandible with free fibula flap and reconstruction plate resulted in comparable HRQoL. If dental rehabilitation by means of dental implants is not anticipated in the fibula, then plate reconstruction with adequate soft tissue remains a suitable technique for the reconstruction of segmental defects of the lateral mandible.

PURPOSE: This study summarizes the literature concerning osteochondroma of the mandibular coronoid process and presents a case of 1-stage treatment for this condition and concomitant facial asymmetry. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 20-year-old man presented with osteochondroma of the mandibular coronoid process. Radiologic images showed a mushroom-shaped coronoid growth inside the zygomatic arch with outward expansion. Coronoidectomy and reduction malarplasty were performed in 1 stage. The literature on osteochondroma of the mandibular coronoid process since 1943 was reviewed concerning etiology, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment. RESULTS: At 20-month follow-up, the patient achieved markedly improved joint function and a symmetric facial appearance after excision of the osteochondroma. CONCLUSION: Coronoidectomy combined with simultaneous reduction malarplasty could be an alternative and promising method to treat osteochondroma of the coronoid process with secondary facial asymmetry.

UNLABELLED: Multidisciplinary approach to follicular thyroid carcinoma with giant mandibular and multiple sites metastases. Case report Metastatic tumors generally have poor prognosis, with short survival period and rarely indication to surgical treatment. In case of thyroid-differentiated cancer with distant metastases, prognosis is usually better, because of the possibility of treating metastasis by Radio Ablation by 131Iodine, after surgery. We report the case of a 65 years old woman, presenting with a giant mandibular metastasis from follicular thyroid carcinoma, originating from a cervico-mediastinal nonfunctioning goiter, with lung metastases. After the diagnostic work-up, she underwent left hemi-mandibulectomy, reconstruction by the placement of a precustomized titanium plate with condylar prosthesis and total thyroidectomy. Subsequently the Patient was treated by Radio Ablation by 131 Iodine, in four consecutive sessions. She is alive with no progression of the neoplasm after forty-six months follow-up. Even in advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma, surgery should be taken into consideration, to treat the patient by complementary therapies and to improve the prognosis in term of survival. KEY WORDS: Advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma, Metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Reconstruction of mandibular defects after tumor resection is a challenge to the head and neck surgeon because of associated functional and esthetic problems. The intention of mandibular reconstructive surgery is to achieve maximum possible functionality, which means the restoration of masticatory function and speech with a good esthetic result. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is already a well-accepted adjunct in the treatment of extensive bone defects. It has been shown to enhance osteogenesis and improve soft tissue wound healing in a variety of circumstances. CASE REPORT: The following case report describes a 29-year-old woman who was diagnosed with mandibular ameloblastoma. The treatment of choice is resection with mandibular base maintenance. The patient underwent 10 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and subsequent nonvascularized iliac crest graft. Six months after, mandibular reconstruction is possible to observe the preservation of mandibular contouring and facial esthetics. A panoramic radiograph revealed good positioning of the bone graft and volume maintenance. DISCUSSION: The mandibular reconstruction is extremely important for the rehabilitation of the patient who underwent bone resection. The restoration of mandibular function and facial esthetics is essential to maintain the quality of life. The use of HBO in mandibular reconstruction is an important adjunct to successful treatment, however, more studies are needed to establish the best modalities of rehabilitation.

INTRODUCTION: A desmoid tumor, or aggressive fibromatosis, is a benign fibrous tumor with a high potential for locoregional extension. This tumor is very rarely located in the mandible. OBSERVATION: A 2-year-old boy presented with an extensive mandibular desmoid tumor. The diagnosis was proved on histological examination. Two years after surgery, there was no recurrence. DISCUSSION: Aggressive fibromatosis is rarely located in the mandible. The differential diagnosis with malignant tumors is difficult. Surgery is the first-line treatment. However, alternative therapies should be considered, especially in children, to avoid mutilating operations.

Introducción: Los sarcomas mandibulares representan una entidad de difícil estudio por su escasa incidencia e histopatología. Pacientes y métodos: Presentamos la experiencia del servicio de Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial del Hospital Vall dHebron de Barcelona en los últimos 10 años (2001-2010) en el manejo de los sarcomas mandibulares, realizando una revisión retrospectiva de 12 casos de pacientes afectos por este tipo de tumor. Resultados: La técnica más utilizada para la reconstrucción fue el colgajo microvascularizado (hueso peroné: 8/12), recibiendo tratamiento adyuvante (quimioterapia y/o radioterapia) el 82% de los pacientes. Cinco pacientes fallecieron (42%), 2 se encuentran con progresión de la enfermedad (16%) y 5 sobreviven libres de enfermedad (42%) hasta la finalización del seguimiento. Conclusiones: Los casos descritos representan una serie singular debido a la localización mandibular, no antes publicadas en la literatura. Aún así, los resultados obtenidos en términos de supervivencia y factores pronóstico son similares a los descritos para los sarcomas de cabeza y cuello. La consecución de márgenes libres con la cirugía es la clave del tratamiento, siendo necesario el tratamiento complementario para mejorar el pronóstico(AU)
Introduction: Sarcomas located in the mandible are difficult to study due to their relatively rare appearance and histology. Patients and Methods: We present the experience of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of the Vall dHebron Hospital in Barcelona over the last 10 years (2001-2010) in the management of jaw sarcomas, performing a retrospective review of 12 cases of patients affected by this type of tumour. Results: The technique mostly used for the reconstruction was the microvascularised bone graft (fibula: 8/12), with 82% of the patients receiving adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and radiotherapy). Five of the patients died (42%), twowere found with disease progression (16%), and 5 survived free of disease (42%) until the end of follow-up. Conclusions: The cases described are a unique series due to the mandibular location. Prognostic factors and survival rates are similar to those described for head and neck sarcomas. Free margin during surgery must be the goal of treatment, additional chemotherapy or radiotherapy or both being required to improve the survival rates(AU)

AIM: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a relatively rare epithelial tumour of the salivary glands in the maxillofacial region. About 40-60% of the patients develop distant metastases, which have been documented most commonly in the lung but also in brain, bone, liver, thyroid, spleen and pancreatic gland. SUMMARY: A 55-year-old women with intraosseous ACC in the mandible mimicking apical periodontitis following curative resection and radiotherapy is presented. Three years later, multiple lung metastases were observed followed by chemotherapy. Five years after curative resection, the patient presented simultaneously with new expansive soft tissue in the pancreas and mammary gland as well as in the kidney found to be metastatic ACC. No case has been reported to date on the manifestation of distant metastases of intraosseous ACC in the breast and the kidney as described by these observations. Metastatic mammary gland ACC stained positive for epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) but was negative for HER-2/neu and Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression.

This report deals with the first benign intraosseous tumor of the maxillofacial skeleton ever documented in a species of the Homo genus, to our knowledge. The lower jaw, which belonged to a representative of Homo neanderthalensis, indicated that expansive processes with bone remodeling were already present in ancient times, showing no difference with similar disease patterns found daily in modern Homo sapiens.

PURPOSE: The aim of this prospective study was to assess treatment outcome and impact on quality of life with implant-retained prosthesis in reconstructed jaws in head and neck cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve patients were rehabilitated with implant-retained dental prosthesis following free fibular graft after segmental resection. These subjects were evaluated by standardized questionnaires European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 (version 3) and clinical assessment for quality of life. Objective assessment of speech parameters was done with Dr. Speech Software (Tiger DRS Inc., Seattle, WA). The questionnaire consisting of information on evaluation of deglutition, salivation, status of the mandible and teeth in relation to predisease level was used for subjective judgment of speech. RESULTS: Consumption of solid, semisolid, and overcooked food was considerably better with the prosthesis. Drinking ability was not affected. Patients' voice resonance was improved, and they could sustain phonation for longer duration without difficulty. They were able to speak loudly, and their intonation pattern was also slightly better. Failure of the implants to osseointegrate at the end of 18 months was observed in 37% of the patients. This was attributed to radiation before implant insertions and periimplantitis. Despite the observed improvement in some patients, the statistical analysis of speech, swallowing parameters, and quality of life were not significant because of the paucity of numbers in this pilot study. There was no improvement in the symptoms scale scores. CONCLUSION: Reconstruction and rehabilitation of the jaws affected by tumor restores the patient anatomically, esthetically, and functionally to optimum levels. However, a study with larger numbers of patients is necessary to ascertain the benefits of this treatment modality.
