Abstract
Simultaneous or secondary inserted implants with double-barrel fibula to reconstruct the mandible have become a common method. However, difficulties in later restoration caused by placement errors of fibula or incipiently placed implants have also been reported in some studies. This note describes a novel technique of implant-oriented guide plates helpful for mandible ablation, fibula segmentation and positioning, and implant placement. We design a series of guide plates especially an implant-fibula placing guide plate, and record and fix the relative spatial positions of the remaining teeth, the simultaneous implants and upper fibula. During surgery, the placement of upper fibula is oriented towards appropriate placement of implants. Therefore, the position of upper fibula can meet the requirements of simultaneous implant as much as possible. Within the limits of present observation, we believe that this technique may increase the manipuility while reducing the errors and the risk of complications.
