A prospective study was made of 14 patients with mandibular continuity defects not involving the condyle who underwent mandibular reconstruction with autogenous particulate cancellous and bone marrow, autologous fibrin adhesive, and custom-made inferior border titanium cribs. The design and fabrication of the cribs were based on the prediction tracing of the mandibular defects from panoramic radiographs. The mandibular arch form, facial contour, and alveolar bone height were restored with high accuracy. The average follow-up time was 30 months. Autologous fibrin adhesive held the bone particles firmly together and accelerated the bone graft healing, which enabled the early removal of the intermaxillary fixation and restoration of the masticatory function. The results of this study demonstrated that the use of inferior border titanium crib designed from a simple, practical, and inexpensive technique is valuable in mandibular reconstruction.

D014025 Titanium A dark-gray, metallic element of widespread distribution but occurring in small amounts with atomic number, 22, atomic weight, 47.867 and symbol, Ti; specific gravity, 4.5; used for fixation of fractures.
D015718 Fibrin Tissue Adhesive An autologous or commercial tissue adhesive containing FIBRINOGEN and THROMBIN. The commercial product is a two component system from human plasma that contains more than fibrinogen and thrombin. The first component contains highly concentrated fibrinogen, FACTOR VIII, fibronectin, and traces of other plasma proteins. The second component contains thrombin, calcium chloride, and antifibrinolytic agents such as APROTININ. Mixing of the two components promotes BLOOD CLOTTING and the formation and cross-linking of fibrin. The tissue adhesive is used for tissue sealing, HEMOSTASIS, and WOUND HEALING.
