Abstract
This clinical report describes a multidisciplinary approach in maxillofacial rehabilitation of a 61-year-old Caucasian male diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue. Following external beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy and a left neck dissection, the patient presented with bilateral osteoradionecrosis of the mandibular rami refractory to hyperbaric oxygen treatment. A subtotal mandibulectomy with a fibula free flap osteocutaneous reconstruction was subsequently performed. Prosthodontic planning and treatment considerations in a case of osteoradionecrosis refractory to hyperbaric oxygen with a reconstructed mandible is presented in this case report.
