Abstract

Dental implant complications in patients with a symphysis cross-arch defect occur following fibula mandible reconstruction due to mechanical stress. The authors compared implant outcomes after single-barrel fibula mandible reconstruction with immediate implant placement or after completion of vertical distraction osteogenesis.
