Abstract
|
|
|
Ameloblastomas are epithelial tumors of odontogenic origin. They constitute a small percentage of all tumors of the jaw and occur most often in the mandible. Characteristically, these tumors are benign and slow growing with a tendency to recur locally if inadequately removed. A proven change to malignancy with metastasis is exceedingly rare. The best treatment of these tumors is early complete removal.
Recently we experienced two cases of ameloblastoma and successful treatment with wide en bloc resection and immediate mandibular reconstruction.
In mandibular replacement, a fascinating collection of parts and materials has been subsequently used with various degree of success. In this paper, we traced the evolution of the mandibular replacement and introduced a new free vascularized rib graft with report of two cases of ameloblastoma.
