[Mandibular reconstruction in benign tumors of the mandible]

The authors report ten cases of reconstruction in the mandibular interrupter substance wast after excision of the large benign tumors which dominated by ameloblastoma. The reparation is realised by free no vascularized bone graft, of ten with the iliac crest, rarely with costochondral graft. The lateral mandibular interrupter substance waste concerning the temporo-mandibular joint (type III) is frequent. The reparation often immediate, is realised by the iliac crest graft fixed to mandibular stump with miniatures plaques and intermaxillar blocking. The fonctioning and morphology results in majority is qualified to be mean with a follow-up between 14 and 24 months.
