PubMed ID (PMID): 16796292Pages 459-464, Language: EnglishBrindley, Stephen / Howell, Robert A. / Cawood, John I. / Butterworth, Chris J.A case is presented in which diffuse lymphangiomatosis resulted in the complete loss of the maxillary dentoalveolar complex and underlying basal bone. The complex investigation and treatment of this patient over a 10-year period is presented, and the importance of a multidisciplinary team approach in providing a functional and esthetic rehabilitation is highlighted. The use of a vascularized bone graft based on the deep circumflex iliac artery and subsequent restoration with an implant-supported prosthesis is described. (Case Report)
