Abstract
Maxillomandibular ablation and reconstruction includes a series of procedures that can be disfiguring and
emotionally traumatic for a patient while treating maxillofacial disease. Often times, the process of regaining full
form and function may take months to years for a patient. With the advent of modern day technology and virtual
surgical planning, some patients may benefit from a single operation that includes disease ablation, microvascular
reconstruction, and immediate dental rehabilitation, also known as “Jaw in a Day”.
Keywords: Endosseous implants, free fibula flap, immediate reconstruction, Jaw in a Day, mandibular
