Abstract

Oral and maxillofacial surgery focuses on the treatment of degenerative or traumatic diseases that mainly affect bone tissue. Therefore, bone reconstruction is an ongoing challenge and widely discussed topic within the scientific community. Each study group described its technique for regenerating bone loss over the past two decades. The authors present the results after 12 years of treatment of a patient who underwent a total maxillectomy due to complications of osteomyelitis. She underwent revascularized fibula surgery and application of supported implant prostheses. It is agreed that in severe bone loss the best method of reconstruction is with the use of revascularized bone whenever possible, this involves a large study of both the donor and recipient sites, the long-term success is confirmed by follow up.
