Non-odontogenic oral to chest haemolytic streptococcal gangrene reconstruction with submental island flap

Abstract

instead of the hand made modelling plates we save more surgical time. Functional outcome and aesthetics results are better with the 3D techniques. Conclusions: The use of CAD/CAM technology, virtual surgery and stereolithographic models with cutting guides are a widely accepted method that allows us shorter surgical time, less time of ischemia of the flap and better oncological, functional and aesthetic results in patients with large bone resection in the mandibular region in comparison with the classic technique.
