Tumor resection of the jaws often leads to discontinuity defects that need extensive bone reconstruction and restoration with implant‐supported prostheses.

The lattice‐like, reticular, or spongy or part of bone; the tissue found in the medulla of the bone; it has a variable trabecular pattern and is made of interstitial tissue that may be hematopoietic. Also used to describe a graft derived from cancellous bone, which is a spongy type of bone containing a trabecular structure…

Minute canal extending to the lacunae of bone. In anatomy, small channels in bone connecting the lacunae with one another or with the Haversian canals. Little canal, e.g. a canal leading to the Haversian systems in compact bone, or a canal leading to the lacrimal duct. A small channel or canal. Canaliculi occur, for example,…
