Unusual Spontaneous Mandibular Regeneration of a Large Defect Followed by Orthodontics, Alveolar Distraction, and Dental Implant Rehabilitation: A 10-Year Follow-Up

This report describes an atypical case of spontaneous mandibular regeneration of a large size bony defect after resection of an aseptic osteonecrotic area near the symphysis and parasymphyseal area. The patient underwent orthodontic therapy, vertical osteogenic distraction of the alveolar bone, and oral rehabilitation with an implant borne prosthesis. This case study also describes the 10-year follow-up of comprehensive multidisciplinary treatment and successful recovery of a patient's esthetic and functional aspects.
