Abstract
We present a case of implant rehabilitation of the mandible in a young patient affected by craniofacial fibrous dysplasia. A computed tomography scan showed involvement of the left orbital contour and left maxilla, with total involvement of the mandible. We performed conservative surgical treatment from 2004 to 2011 to reconstruct and recontour the orbital and mandible region. Next, we performed implant rehabilitation of the mandible. This case emphasizes the importance of conservative and nondemolition treatment to obtain excellent functional and esthetic results.
