Abstract

Abstract: The Sydney Modification of the Alberta Mandibular Reconstruction technique (SM-ART) is a hybrid of the Rohner method and the Alberta Reconstructive Technique (ART). SM-ART differs from ART in three ways, notably the use of custom plates, intraoral placement of implants via three-dimensionally printed guides and a skin graft buried deep into the skin paddle of the fibula flap in the first stage of the reconstruction.
