ablative surgery for neoplastic disease. The iliac crest remains the workhorse for autogenous bone graft har- vesting when significant quantity of cortical and cancel- lous bone is required. In addition to this we should be reminded how useful the autogenous costochondral graft is for replacement of the mandibular component of the temporomandibular articulation. Several cases will be used to illustrate these points and principles of reconstruction of the mandible. These will include the severely atrophic but continuous edentulous mandible and what needs to be done to maintain grafted bone volume. Autogenous rib grafting will be discussed to highlight its usefulness in joint replacement both post trauma or as a solution to isolated condylar degenera- tion, be it arthritic, idiopathic condylar resorption or post tumour excision. Finally a case of segmental resec- tion of the mandible for low grade osteosarcoma will demonstrate how a post ablative segmental defect can be restored to good function and esthetics with a mini- mal amount of extensive surgery and relatively low mor- bidity. A review of postoperative morbidity and complica- tions will allow the audience to compare this non vas- cularized technique with other techniques that may be discussed.

Terheyden, MD, DMD, PhD Kassel, Hessen, Germany In benign situations there is a choice of therapeuti- cal options including free bone grafts and tissue engi- neering techiques. However, for malignancies and es- pecially for irradiated patients with large mandibular defects the clinical options are almost exclusively lim- ited to microvascular bone flaps. However, recon- struction of the mandible with free bone flaps has two limitations. 1) The shape of the bone does not match exactly the requirements. 2) Limited availability/mor- bidity of donor sites. Tissue engineering can offer solutions. 1) The shape can be controlled by customised scaffolds on the basis of CAD/CAM and radiographic imaging data. 2) Bone can be grown in muscular environments and then be harvested with reduced morbidity. An ideal site for such a bone flap prefabrication is the latissimus dorsi muscle. Three patients have been treated with custom shaped individually prefabricated bone segments (2 for mandi- ble and 1 for maxilla). Scaffolds (defect specific CAD/ CAM shaped titanium meshes filled with xenogenic bone mineral) have been augmented with rhBMP-7 (Osi- graft) and bone marrow aspirate from the iliac crest. The scaffolds were implanted into a pouch in the latissimus dorsi muscle. After 6 weeks the muscular segments were harvested with the thoracodorsal vessels. The flaps were transferred to the defects where the scaffolds were se- cured with bone screws and the blood vessels were connected to the facial vessels. Two reconstructions (mandible and maxilla) were clinically successful. In one case (mandible) the bone disappeared within one year. Limitations of the method and room for improvement are discussed. Further research has to consider the pro- tection of bone against premature resorption and accel- eration of neovascularization of the scaffolds. The use of bisphosphonates and VEGF is demonstrated for these purposes. References Terheyden H, Menzel C, Wang H, Ac ¸il Y, Springer ING, Rueger D.
