The rehabilitation of the mandible after ablation cancer surgery is a challenge. Furthermore, osteodistraction in the microvascular fibula flap makes it difficult to predict adequate bone lengthening. The aim of this article is to evaluate a protocol used to manufacture templates for measuring osteodistraction, in terms of force vectors and definitive height. An accurate prosthetic wax-up with guide pins measuring the quantity of bone lengthening must be performed to manufacture the template. This device may be used to establish the end of the osteo-distraction in respect to the vertical dimension of the definitive occlusion.
