Mandibular reconstruction with a fibula free flap is often used for advanced oral malignancies, osteonecrosis, or benign tumors to restore function and appearance after segmental mandibulectomy. The "Jaw in a Day" (JIAD) technique enables immediate restoration of form and function with a fibula free flap, implants, and a temporary prosthesis. This case reports the unique use of the JIAD technique in a young female patient with a traumatic mandibular nonunion fracture and chronic osteomyelitis, demonstrating its efficacy in significantly enhancing her quality of life.

Background: Dental prosthetic rehabilitation (DPR) plays a critical role in restoring function and quality of life following mandibular reconstruction. This study examines the rate of patients undergoing dental implants and DPR after reconstruction of a segmental jaw defect with a fibula free flap reconstruction. We identify factors associated with successful dental implants and DPR in this patient population.

The mandible is one of the most frequently fractured facial bone, most commonly by automobile accidents followed by fall from heights. However, segmental avulsion of mandible, that too in pediatric population is rarely reported. We report a case of 10-year-old male child sustaining facial injury following fall from a tree, resulting in complete segmental avulsion of the mandible highlighting the importance of early plastic surgery referral to optimize treatment outcomes.
