Abstract
ADO can be performed on fibula-reconstructed mandibles to achieve the restoration of alveolar height, which then can be rehabilitated with dental implant-supported prostheses. The procedure has a minor risk of infection associated with the distractor rod, which does not compromise the bone regeneration from distraction. Patients with mandibles reconstructed with fibulas can attain dental implant rehabilitation with ADO, achieving good esthetic and occlusal outcomes.
