CANCER CLINICS

Surgery and Prosthesis in Jaw Reconstruction

Milton T. Edgerton Jr. M.D.1 and James E. Pyott D.D.S.1

1 Department of Plastic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, and the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland.

Dr. Edgerton: It might be said in summary that the surgeon treating tumors of the upper or lower jaw today will find that the help of the prosthodontist is an invaluable aid in acquiring maximum functional results. The particular anatomical requirements of each case must dictate whether the primary reliance should be on prosthetic or living-tissue restoration. Reconstruction with living tissue yields an oral cavity that enjoys better hygiene and does not depend on the permanent retention of teeth. However, this often requires prolonged or elaborate surgery, which may not be reasonable in view of the particular patient's age or his special needs.
