Prosthetic aids in resections of the middle piece of the mandible. The authors describe a prosthesis which is inserted during the resection of the middle piece of the mandible. Due to its construction it prevents the soft tissues of the floor of the mouth from sinking back. Such a prosthesis has been used in 18 cases. Respiratory complications did not occur; no tracheotomy was necessary. During the postoperative phase, the prosthesis came up to expectations, but it could not prevent cicatricial contraction in the operating area. Occlusion-conformable positioning of the fragments will be achieved only it the remaining teeth are suited for function-stable prosthetic care. Consequently, secondary osteoplasty should not be abandoned.
下颌骨中段切除术中的假体辅助装置。作者描述了一种在下颌骨中段切除术中植入的假体。由于其构造，它可防止口腔底部软组织向后塌陷。这种假体已在18例病例中使用。未发生呼吸并发症；无需气管切开术。术后阶段，假体达到了预期效果，但它无法防止手术区域的瘢痕挛缩。只有当剩余牙齿适合进行功能稳定的假牙护理时，才能实现骨折碎片的咬合贴合定位。因此，不应放弃二期骨成形术。
