Mandibular reconstruction with subsequent denture implantation.
A 23-year-old female patient with ameloblastoma on the right side of the mandible is presented. The affected mandible was excised and reconstructed with a free vascularised scapular bone graft followed by dental reconstruction with an artificial dental root. This is a preliminary report and the benefits of the procedure are discussed.
