Abstract
The problem of filling bone cavities remains relevant in maxillofacial and oral surgery. There is a large selection of osteotropic materials, of various natures, for filling bone defects of different etiologies. The aim of our research was to improve the outcome of surgical treatment in a patient with a complicated mandibular fracture, with the use of a collagenic xenograft during osteosynthesis. In this article, we share our experience of the treatment of a patient with a complicated mandibular angle fracture, in combination with a follicular cyst. The obligate steps of treatment included stabilization of the bone fragments, decreasing the risk of fracture line malposition, using titan mini-plates, and shortening the time of bone regeneration, by filling the bone defect with osteotropic material. This approach allowed us to reduce the rehabilitation period and further prosthetic treatment after 4–5 months, without additional bone grafting manipulations. Thus, the use of collagen osteotropic materials, possessing osteoconductive properties, can improve the treatment of patients with mandibular fractures.
