The transmandibular implant is specifically designed for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the severely atrophic mandible utilizing an extraoral approach. The unique design and surgical protocol of the transmandibular system have proven to be predictable and successful. The indications, implant design and materials, surgical technique, advantages, and disadvantages of the transmandibular system are presented in this article.
