Abstract
Oral cancer is a disease, in the treatment of which the surgical resection of the lesion plays a lead- ing role. Oncological resections in the maxillofacial area create large deficits that affect the functionality and aesthetics of the patient to a large extent, while many times make oncological resection impossible due to their inability to restore. The mandibular deficits are particularly difficult, with the free osteocutaneous fibular flap being the gold standard in repairing large mandibular deficits. In recent years, technology has offered significant as- sistance in the successful restoration of functional and aesthetic disorders through the virtual planning of the operation. In this paper we present a case of oral cancer whose resection and reconstruction with fibula free flap were done after digital design and under the guidance of special cutting guides. To our knowledge, this case of computer-guided reconstruction with FFF represents the first description of such a technique for mandibular reconstruction in the available greek medico-dental literature.
