Mandibular prosthesis made of a new highly biointegratable material
Replacement of mandibular bone after partial or total mandible resection,avoiding then bone grafting. The porous titanium prosthesis is implanted under general anaesthesia in laryngeal surgeries. Bone resection and prosthesis placement is performed during the same surgical intervention. The prosthesis is attached onto the healthy bone with surgical screws. Simultaneous grafting of vascularised tissues may be done if the prosthesis surrounding area has been strongly irradiated.
