Transcutaneous submandibular approaches are the preferred technique for the application of load-bearing mandibular osteosynthesis plates. However, an extraoral approach is associated with several shortcomings, like the risk of harming the facial nerve and scarring. This technical note presents a specialized mandibular reconstruction plate (MatrixMANDIBLE Preformed Reconstruction Plate [Synthes Maxillofacial, Paoli, PA]), simplifying the transoral application by its design with a preformed curvature along the lateral surface of the mandible. The application of wide-spanning plates reaching from the posterior margin of the ramus even into the contralateral body region is facilitated. Transoral application of preformed mandibular reconstruction plates seems to be a promising option to bypass external incisions and to reduce operating room time.

Primary restoration of the mandibular continuity remains the standard of care for defects, and yet several constraints preclude this objective. Interim reconstructions with plate and nonvascular bone grafts have high failure rates. The secondary reconstruction, when becomes inevitable, remains a formidable task. This retrospective study evaluates various issues to address secondary reconstruction. Twenty-one patients following mandibulectomy presented with various complications between 2012 and 2016 were included in the study. The profile of primary reconstruction includes reconstruction plate ( n = 9), reconstruction plate with rib graft ( n = 3), soft tissue only reconstruction ( n = 4), free fibula ( n = 2), inadequate growth of reconstructed free fibula during adolescence ( n = 1), nonvascular bone graft alone ( n = 1), and no reconstruction ( n = 1). All had problems or complications related to unsatisfactory primary reconstruction such as plate fracture, recurrent infection, plate exposure, deformity, malocclusion, and failed fibula reconstruction. All were reconstructed with osteocutaneous free fibula flap with repair of soft-tissue loss. All flaps survived and had satisfactory outcome functionally and aesthetically. Dental rehabilitation was done in four patients. One flap was reexplored for thrombosis and salvaged. The challenges in secondary reconstruction include difficulty in recreating true defects, extensive fibrosis and loss of planes, unanticipated soft-tissue and skeletal defects, reestablishing the contour and occlusion, insufficient bone strength, dearth of suitable recipient vessels, nonpliable skin, tissue contraction to accommodate new mandible, need of additional flap for defect closure, and postirradiation effects. Notwithstanding them, the reasonable successful outcome can be attainable.

Os defeitos mandibulares devido à ressecção de lesão óssea interferem a harmonia e estética facial comprometendo a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Grandes defeitos exigem planejamento minucioso, principalmente quando lançamos mão de enxertos e placas de reconstrução, evitando assim resultados insatisfatórios ou até mesmo sequelas. Apesar de algumas classificações dos defeitos mandibulares vêm sendo discutidas ao longo dos anos, ainda não há um protocolo definido para reconstrução mandibular. O uso de prototipagem na Cirurgia Bucomaxilofacial tem se tornado cada vez mais frequente; a precisão da reconstrução, diminuição do tempo de cirurgia reflete em recuperação mais rápida do paciente. Mesmo com a ferramenta da prototipagem, grandes lesões e perdas ósseas permanecem como grande desafio ao cirurgião.  O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso clínico de reconstrução mandibular no qual houve a necessidade de ser tratado com remoção de placa de reconstrução e nova reabilitação cirúrgica do paciente.Descritores: Mandíbula; Reconstrução Mandibular; Modelos Biológicos.ReferênciasSantos LCS, Seixas AM, Barbosa B, Cincura RNS.

Resection of the jaw is a primary option of treatment in mandibular ameloblastoma with bone damage. Mandibular resection will cause mandibular stability disturbance due toloss of some part of the bone. Instability of the mandible can cause aesthetic, physiological, and psychological malfunctioning. To restore its stability, installment of mandibular reconstruction plate on the remaining mandibular by using screws. However, it is not uncommon that plate exposure occurs following mandibular reconstruction, caused by inaccurate adaptation of the plates to the mandibular bone. A  3D stereolithography modelcan help provide the best assesment on the bone defect, plan the making of the more easily pre-operative curved plates and provide more accurate faster surgery time. Objective: To evaluate plate exposure after mandibular resection with titanium reconstruction plates in Dr. SardjitoHospital. Case report: A case was reported on mandibular reconstruction after resection of ameloblastoma with titanium plate performed in Dr. Sardjito Hospital that experienced intra-oral plate exposure and oro-cutaneous fistula on the left mandible. The clinical evaluation showed the curved titanium plate did not adapt well with the remaining mandibular bone; therefore, the titanium plate was removed without replacing it with a new plate. Inappropriate adaptationof curved titanium plate is one of the main causes of plate exposure. The use of a 3D stereolithography model is very helpful for the success of mandibular reconstruction.
