Aims And Objectives: To audit methods of mandibular defect reconstruction used in our institution.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of mandibular bone reconstruction at the University College Hospital Ibadan between January 2001 and December 2007. Relevant records were retrieved from patients' case notes and operation register. Comparative analysis of various methods of reconstruction was done by assessing treatment outcomes such as restoration of continuity and stability, graft infection, extrusion and fractures.
Results: Only 65 of the 82 patients that had mandibular continuity defect during the study period had reconstruction. Ameloblastoma accounted for 67% [n=55] of pathologies that required mandibular resection. Methods of reconstruction included non vascularised iliac bone anchored with either stainless steel wire (NVIBw) [n=38] or titanium plate (NVIBp) [n=9], titanium reconstruction plate [n=4] Steinman pin [n=12], rib graft [1] and acrylic plate temporisation [n=1]. The findings showed that titanium plate and NVIBp had the least complications in terms of infection, graft extrusion, fracture and wound dehiscence. NVIBw and Steinman pin had the highest infection rates.
Conclusion: We recommend the use of NVIBp and titanium reconstruction plate as they have the least complication rate. We also advocate future prospective study.

Objective: Both the Masquelet technique (MT) and concentrated growth factors (CGF) reduce early graft loss and improve bone regeneration. This study aims to explore the efficacy of combining MT with CGF for mandibular defect repair by characterizing the induced membrane and assessing in vivo osteogenesis.
Materials And Methods: Three experimental groups were compared: negative control (NC), MT, and Masquelet combined with CGF (MTC).

College of Stomatology, Dalian University, Dalian, Liaoning, 116622, China.
Objectives: This study analyzed the differences in the upper airway of patients with skeletal Class III high-angle malocclusion with and without mandibular deviation, and further investigated whether there are differences in the changes in upper airway space after orthognathic surgery between the two groups.
Materials And Methods: 15 patients with skeletal Class III high-angle malocclusion and mandibular deviation, and 15 patients without mandibular deviation were selected to explore the impact of mandibular deviation on the upper airway. Additionally, 16 patients with mandibular deviation undergoing orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment, and 13 patients without mandibular deviation, were selected to investigate the differences in the changes in upper airway space after orthognathic surgery between the two groups.

Introduction: The aim of this article is to present the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to unilateral posterior vertical insufficiency.
Material And Methods: The authors describe the management protocol.
Results: Posterior vertical insufficiency (PVI) manifests clinically as obliquity of the maxillo-mandibular occlusal plane and bicommissural line, and deviation of the chin.

Stafne bone cavity, also known as static bone cavity, is a rare bony defect on the lingual side of the mandible. It rarely shows progressive changes, and requires only follow-up bservation. This article described a case of progressive enlargement of a Stafne bone cavity and analyzed the causes of its progress by reviewing relevant literature.
