Abstract
We describe a new technique for reconstruction of the central segment of the mandible using a masseter osteomuscular flap. The advantages of this method are that bone viability is preserved, both form and function of the mandible are maintained, it is a local flap with low donor-site morbidity, and the operative time is shortened.
