Radiological assessment of bioengineered bone in a muscle flap for the reconstruction of critical-size mandibular defect.

This study presents a comprehensive radiographic evaluation of bone regeneration within a pedicled muscle flap for the reconstruction of critical size mandibular defect. The surgical defect (20 mm × 15 mm) was created in the mandible of ten experimental rabbits. The masseter muscle was adapted to fi...
