Abstract
In patients with ectodermal dysplasia, a very rare condition, the fibula can be used for alveolar reconstruction to increase the height of the bone to enable placement of implants for dental rehabilitation. The orthopantomogram and the computed tomography scan revealed the presence of a bony block on the left side between the reconstructed maxilla and the ramus of the mandible below the coronoid process, along the course of the vascular pedicle [Figure 2]. [...]care must be taken while harvesting and shaping the fibula to ensure that the periosteum is cut flush with the fibula, and no part of it stays with the pedicle.
