Mandibular reconstruction with microvascularized graft after ameloblastoma resection: case series

Mandibular ameloblastoma. Reconstruction with iliac crest graft and implants.

The ameloblastoma is a bening odontogenic tumor. The treatment planning in young persons is still not clear. We describe a case report of a young boy who was treated in our unit and we review the different approaches for this type of lesions, which nowadays still not clear in this patients.

Mandibular ameloblastoma treated by bone resection and imediate reconstruction Summary

Pelvic reconstruction with allogeneic bone graft after tumor resection

OBJECTIVES : Pelvic reconstruction after tumor resection is challenging. METHODS A retrospective study had been preformed to compare the outcomes among patients who received pelvic reconstructive surgery with allogeneic bone graft after en bloc resection of pelvic tumors and patients who received en bloc resection only. RESULTS Patients without reconstruction had significantly lower functio...

Mandibular Ameloblastoma Recurrence: Radical Approach with Immediate Reconstruction

Ameloblatoma is a benign odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin, with specific clinical features as cortical expansion, painless, associated with tooth displacement and root resorption. Ameloblastoma treatment is controversial. There are conservative and aggressive treatment options, ranging from a simple enucleation associated or not with curettage to a complete mandibular resection with secur...

Mandibular reconstruction with tissue engineering in multiple recurrent ameloblastoma.

The aim of this paper is to present a new approach to bone regeneration in a patient with multiple recurrent ameloblastoma of the left mandibular angle. Through an extraoral approach, complete resection of the tumor was achieved. Bone marrow aspirate from the iliac crest was centrifuged to concentrate the mesenchymal cellular fraction. Based on a stereolithographic cast, titanium mesh was bent ...
