Case ReportA standardized formula for aesthetic mandibular reconstruction using an osteocutaneous fibular free flap
Ameloblastoma is the most common benign odontogenic tumor of the jaw, and expansional growth of a huge untreated ameloblastoma can result in disturbances in facial aesthetics and function, such as difficulty with mouth opening, swallowing, chewing, breathing, neurologic deficits, and pathologic fractures
A fibular free flap (FFF) is commonly used to reconstruct the mandible in order to adequately restore both aesthetic appearance and function.[3]. The aim of this communication report is to present a case of huge ameloblastoma after wide resection with free safety margins, and describe the immediate onestep mandibular reconstruction using a vascularized composite FFF
