Symposium on Reconstruction of the Mandible: Surgery versus Biotechnology


Synopsis

The objective of this Symposium is to show the development of reconstruction of the mandible during the last 50 years. It will start with the more traditional techniques developed during the Vietnam War progressing to the use of microvascular free flaps and finally to the future in which tissue engineering and regenerative medicine will play a much larger role.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this symposium, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe the treatment modalities utilized during the seminal stages of development of mandibular reconstruction;
  2. Discuss present surgical modalities used in reconstruction of the mandible; and
  3. Discuss future biotechnological trends in reconstruction of the mandible.
