MELBOURNE NORTH WEST MEETING ‘Dental Implant Reconstructions in Free Fibular Grafts.’ The advancement of microvascular techniques has improved the success of free fibular grafts in the reconstruction of orofacial defects. The regional anatomy changes considerably after reconstructive surgery, making restoring dental function a challenge. The use of dental implants in free fibular grafts has improved treatment outcomes for these patients, vastly increasing their quality of life. Dr Melinda Newnham Melinda completed her undergraduate dental training in Western Australia (1995), specialist training in periodontics in Melbourne (2006), was awarded the ANZAP medallion in 2007 and fellowship into the Academy of Dentistry International in 2017. Melinda is in private practice in Moonee Ponds, is the consultant periodontist at the Alfred Hospital and is the immediate past-president of the Australasian Society of Periodontology (Victorian branch). In addition, she holds teaching positions at the University of Melbourne and La Trobe University, Bendigo. Melinda has a special interest in the treatment of medically compromised patients within the field of periodontics and has enjoyed lecturing both locally and interstate on this fascinating topic.
