Abstract
The prosthesis and cancellous bone graft technique has proven to be versatile, reliable, and highly successful when applied to mandibular reconstruction. The type of prosthesis used appears to be of some importance. Analysis of 32 cases in which the Dacron-urethane mandibular prosthesis was used is presented. Among these cases there were one failure (3 percent) and three minor complications (9 percent). These results are superior to those reported in the series in which metallic prostheses were used.Keywords
