Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Ameloblastoma is a rare odontogenic tumor that frequently affects the mandible.
  • Surgical excision is the primary treatment, often requiring extensive reconstruction.
  • Vascularized bone grafting offers a viable option for complex mandibular defects.

Observation:

  • A 23-year-old female patient diagnosed with ameloblastoma on the right mandible.
  • Surgical resection of the affected mandibular segment was performed.
  • Reconstruction was achieved using a free vascularized scapular bone graft.

Findings:

  • The mandibular defect was successfully reconstructed with the scapular bone graft.
  • Dental rehabilitation was completed using an artificial dental root.

  • This preliminary report discusses the procedural benefits and outcomes.

    • Implications:

    • This reconstructive technique shows promise for restoring both form and function after ameloblastoma resection.
    • Artificial dental roots offer a potential solution for dental rehabilitation in complex cases.
    • Further research is warranted to evaluate long-term efficacy and patient-reported outcomes.
