Reconstruction of mandibular defects after trauma or tumor resection is one of
the most challenging problems facing by maxillofacial surgeons. Few mandibular defects require not just
a fixation of an implant, but the reconstruction of the entire ma
ndible. The aim of this study was to design
a mandibular prosthesis for a mandibular cancer patient and study its efficacy by stress–strain related
mechanical property using finite element analysis (FEA).
