A technique for simultaneous fracture repair and augmentation of the atrophic edentulous mandible.

A technique that uses autogenous rib grafts for repair of fractures of an atrophic, edentulous mandible and augmentation of the ridge has been presented. Nine cases have been treated in this manner. We advocate this treatment to promote healing of the fractures and to provide necessary mandibular bone for future vestibuloplasty and, ultimately, restoration of function with denture construction.

Surgical treatment of submucosal tumors of the hard palate.

Two cases have been presented to illustrated to illustrate the principles of total excisional biopsy for palatal tumors and the postoperative management of the resulting defect with the use of palatal splints. Total excisional biopsy is curative for benign tumors and for some malignant-grade tumors, and is the preferred method of treatment when possible. Total excision of the lesion with adequate margins negates the possibility of seeding the tumor into surrounding tissue or of leaving behind residual tumor.
