This study examines the rate of patients undergoing dental implants and DPR after reconstruction of a segmental jaw defect with a fibula free flap reconstruction.

In contrast, of those who underwent dental implants without the placement of a provisional prosthesis, 63.2% (12\/19) successfully obtained a final prosthesis.
