Bone mineral density (BMD) may influence the success rate of implant denture restorations. This study aimed to explore whether the Hounsfield unit (HU) value can be used to monitor the changing trend of fibular BMD after jaw reconstruction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 54 patients who underwent maxillar\/mandibular reconstruction with a fibula flap were included in this study. There was a significant correlation between the HU value and BMD at 1\u00a0week, 3\u00a0months, and 6\u00a0months after surgery, and both were significantly correlated with follow-up time. The difference between each pair of absorption rates (DAR) was less than 10% in 66.7% and 75.9% of patients at 3 and 6\u00a0months; however, the DAR was more than 20% in 12% and 13.8% of patients at 3 and 6\u00a0months, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is a significant correlation between HU value and BMD.
