This article presents the clinical results of a prospective evaluation of nine cases of mandibular discontinuity that were reconstructed using autogenous grafting and a reconstruction plate. All patients were allowed to function immediately postsurgery. Acceptable esthetic and functional results were obtained with minimal donor and recipient site complications. All cases showed complete graft incorporation and restoration of osseous continuity.
