title: Cementifying fibroma: resection of recurrent mandibular lesion with microsurgical preservation of inferior alveolar nerve and immediate reconstruction.
abstract: Cementifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous lesion that may occur in either the mandible or the maxilla, with a predilection for the mandible. In the patient described, a recurrent mandibular cementifying fibroma was successfully resected, with microsurgical preservation of the inferior alveolar nerve and immediate reconstruction via an autogenous iliac bone graft.
