Ameloblastic Fibrosarcoma of the Mandible: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature

“…26 Clear benefit has been shown for the patient's overall well-being, cosmesis, deglutition, oral competence, speech, length of hospitalization, and dental rehabilitation from the use of free tissue transfer to reconstruct the segmental defects of the mandible. 27 Radiolucent mandibular lesions are commonly encountered. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for appropriate management of rare malignant radiolucent lesions.…”

Quality of life of head and neck cancer patients after tumor treatment and subsequent maxillofacial rehabilitation

“…It is recommended to replace the missing bone and to reconstruct the functional and aesthetic demands of the patients. The best method for this comprises free vascularized bone grafting, such as an iliac or a fibula graft as vital bone graft (Keller et al, 1998, Urken et al,1991.…”
