Abstract
Different methods are recommended for the surgical reconstruction of the re sected mandible. The advantages for implant stabilised prostheses in restor ing the occlusion are recognised but few papers provide adequate data to id entify the successful outcome of treatment. The literature is reviewed and the advantages of imaging together with the use of digitised data is highli ghted by a case requiring rehabilitation with enhanced planning methods.
