Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Mandibular mobility, maximum bite force, pain and QoL should be evaluated 6 months following segmental resection of the mandible or following reconstruction by means of jaw tracking, measurement of max. bite force, pain threshold measurement and questionnaires. It should be checked whether a reconstruction of the mandible leads to an improvement of the parameters given above and whether one surgical technique is preferable to the other. | — |
