Abstract
Osseointegrated implants in conjunction with microvascular free tissue transfer reconstruction has been increasingly adopted in our head and neck cancer population. However, the majority of the literature on dental rehabilitation in free flaps have been for mandibular defects. Midface and maxillectomy defects are challenging defects for reconstruction. The utilization of medical modeling technology has allowed for improved efficiency and accuracy of microvascular free tissue transfer reconstruction of these midface defects and opened the possibility of immediate osseointegrated implant placement. Medical modeling in microvascular free tissue transfer reconstruction with immediate dental rehabilitation in complex midface defects will be discussed. A review of the literature as well as our experience in the surgical management of these patients is provided.
