FERNANDEZ PEREZ, Felipe Segundo. Total jaw replacement with Kirschner wire. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2008, vol.45, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.

The mandibular bone due to its anatomical disposition in the facial region presents considerable aesthetic requirements, since any event altering its morphophysiology influences on the personal appearance and on elementary functions of the human being. The clinical case of a patient in whom a massive mandibular osteolysis did not allow its preservation is presented. An acceptable aesthetic and functional result was possible by the simultaneous reconstruction with Kirschner wire.

Keywords : Mandibular bone; osteolysis; Kirschner wire; reconstruction.
