That someone Cheryld mentioned is me and the implants are not impending. The entire process was completed in 2010.

My lower jaw was reconstructed with bone taken from my hip due to Osteonradionecrosis (ORN). I underwent HBO treatments before my mandible jaw was reconstructed. Unfortunately most of my mandible was dead along with the original tongue flap. Both mandible and flap could not be saved. Surgeons removed most of my lower jaw, gums and approximately 14 teeth. Five implant posts were surgically inserted into my reconstructed mandible many months after my new jaw bone healed. My Maxillofacial Oral Surgeon and a Prosthodontist put together a plan and designed a denture structure suitable to my rearranged mouth cavity.

The process took many months and several procedures. Send me a PM if you would like any information from my experience.
