Abstract

The mandibular bone due to its anatomical disposition in the facial region presents considerable
aesthetic requirements, since any event altering its morphophysiology influences on the
personal appearance and on elementary functions of the human being. The clinical case of a
patient in whom a massive mandibular osteolysis did not allow its preservation is presented. An
acceptable aesthetic and functional result was possible by the simultaneous reconstruction with
Kirschner wire.
