Abstract
The free fibula flap has emerged as the preferred option for reconstructing defects in the mandible and maxilla. The method of implanting a fibula flap is nearly identical to that used on the original jawbone, but accessing the bone during surgery is the most challenging part. Previous reports discussed the use of dental implants following free flap tissue transfer. This review aims to discuss all the relevant trials discussing dental implants following free flap surgery.
