My oral surgeon has referred me to Dr. Marx in Miami for a resection and reconstruction of my left mandible. I had 2 molars pulled in Dec '10 and a bicuspid pulled last week. Now the scan shows continuing bone necrosis hence the referral to Dr. Marx. Has anyone had this surgery? What I am reading sounds scary! I would love to correspond with someone who has gone through this and could give me some guidance.

Thanks
