Abstract
Mandibular defects have both functional and esthetic morbidities, and accurate mandibular reconstruction is a great challenge for surgeons. The features of a successful mandibular reconstruction include a healed wound, restoration of functional mastication, dentition, swallowing, articulation, and breathing, with re-establishment of the mandibular contours. The causes of mandibular defects include local aggressive lesions, tumors, trauma, and infection. The management of segmental mandibular defects is complex and challenging. Mandibular reconstruction aims to restore the form and function of the mandible. This requires achieving satisfactory cosmetic, functional and anatomical results, with a pain-free mandibular movement and accepted soft tissue relationships to facilitate articulation and swallowing and provide a base for dental rehabilitation. Primary mandibular reconstruction should be done so that adjuvant treatments are not delayed.
