ABSTRACT:
A mandibular prosthesis includes a pair of strips joined at one end and spaced apart elsewhere for placement on opposite sides of a mandibular stump. The strips each have alternating threaded and non-threaded holes that are aligned with respective non-threaded and threaded holes in the other strip. Consequently, screws can be applied from either side and the prosthesis can be implanted interchangeably on either side of the mandible. Extending from the joined end of the strips is a mandibular replacement which may be an artificial condyle, a band for replacing the main body of the mandible, or a band carrying additional attachment strips or a ramus and condyle replacement.
