Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To report treatment of severe mandibular defect caused by Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) in a 6-year-old child, with off-label use of Recombinant Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (rhBMP-2) STUDY DESIGN: Clinical Study. METHOD: After corrective segmental mandibulectomy, mandible was stabilized by precontoured titanium reconstruction plates spanning the entire defect. After confirming final diagnosis and a wait and watch approach, rhBMP-2 was inserted into mandibular defect along with conventional split rib graft. RESULT: New bone formation was identified at 3 months and was evident at radiographic examinations upto 5 months. CONCLUSION: Reconstruction of a large mandibular defect was facilitated by use of an osteoinductive factor (rhBMP-2) as a graft additive. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: One-step salvage and reconstruction could be facilitated by use of an osteoinductive factor, as a graft additive, may be an alternative strategy for repair of large mandibular defects.
