Oro-mandibular Reconstruction

7.13.1 Describe the palatal island flap.

7.13.2 Discuss distraction osteogenesis in mandibular reconstruction.

7.13.3 Discuss the options for mandibular reconstruction in lateral and anterior arch defects (non-vascularized vs. vascularized bone grafts). Ask Drs. (your microvascular surgeon) what they prefer and why.
