Abstract The authors describe a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity managed by ablative surgery, mandibular reconstruction with a fibula free flap, and implant placement during the same session. Immediate functional implant loading, respecting the principles of basal implantology, was performed 48 hours later using a highly rigid, screw-secured fixed prosthesis that served as an external fixator for the implants and grafted bone. Implant loading before external beam radiotherapy improves flap stability, bone consolidation, and quality of life. Functional and esthetic outcomes were evaluated 2 years after radiotherapy was completed.

During last 22 years the different reports have shown successful using of vascularized single fibular transplant for a simultaneous bilateral segmental mandibular reconstruction. The surgeries were performed in cases of bilateral mandibular defects of different origin: 1) bilateral infected pseudoarthrosis, 2) bilateral squamous cell carcinoma of the mandible, 3) bilateral ossifying fibroma, 4) osteoradionecrosis that caused mandibular defects, and 5) traumatic mandibular defects. We present a case of a 60-year-old patient who was referred to our clinic with osteoradionecrosis of bilateral mandible, which was reconstructed using a single fibula flap. A 6-month follow-up images are presented.
