RESUMEN
ABSTRACT: Mandibular reconstruction is a challenging procedure, especially in cancer patients with defects that are greater than 6 cm. Free vascularized fibular flap is the gold standard treatment in these cases since it allows three-dimensional restoration of the lost segments after ablative surgery in addition to providing the possibility of a subsequent implant-supported rehabilitation improving the functional and aesthetic outcomes of the surgery.To obtain accurate results, preoperative planning must be done with detail. Approaches for the preoperative planning include both the conventional analog planning and the virtual planning that are valid alternatives in meeting the trans-surgical requirements.This study makes a comparative analysis of 2 clinical cases with a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma that were reconstructed using a vascularized fibular free flap. The first case was planned using the conventional analog method whereas the second case was planned using the virtual planning approach.The impact of virtual planning and conventional analog planning on preoperative planning time, ischemia period, and total surgical time is analyzed according to the experience obtained in the cases presented. In addition, the authors described the technique used for each planning method along with a literature review in which the results are contrasted and discussed.

Se realizó una investigación analítica realizada in vitro en el laboratorio general del Hospital "Carlos Andrade Marín". La población estuvo compuesta por 20 barras de gutapercha marca Meta®Biomed (Korea), distribuidas en cuatro grupos compuestos por 5 barras atendiendo a características preestablecidas en cuanto a realización de termoplastificación y manipulación. Solo el 15% de las muestras se registró indicios de crecimiento bacteriano, de las que el 66,67% pertenecieron al grupo de barras sólidas de gutapercha que fueron manipuladas, estableciéndose diferencias significativas con respecto al resto de los grupos (p≤0.01), según la prueba de T-stu-dents. La mayoría de las muestras no mostró indicios de crecimiento bacteriano. Sin embargo, dos de las tres muestras que manifestaron esa actividad microbiológica pertenecieron al grupo de las barras sólidas de gutapercha que fueron manipuladas.
An in vitro analytical research was carried out in the general laboratory of the "Carlos Andrade Marín" Hospital. The population consisted of 20 bars of Meta®Biomed brand gutta-percha (Korea) distributed in four groups made up of 5 bars according to the pre-established characteristics in terms of thermoplasticization and handling. Only 15% of the selected samples showed signs of bacterial growth, of which 66.67% belonged to the group of solid gutta-percha bars that were manipulated, establishing specific differences with respect to the rest of the groups (p≤0.01), according to the T-students test. Most of the samples have no evidence of bacterial growth. However, two of the three samples that showed this microbiological activity belonged to the group of solid gutta-percha bars that were manipulated
