Case 1. Panoramic X-ray images. Top: the preoperative situation. The pathological fracture of the right side of the extremely atrophied mandible with fractured mini plate. The right side was so extremely atrophied in this case that the mandibular bone underwent resorption after the augmentation. Bottom: panoramic X-ray at the 6-year follow-up: the entire body of the mandible was reconstructed with free vascularised fibula flap; dental rehabilitation was provided with two osseointegrated implants
