ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Ameloblastomas are benign tumors that most commonly affecting the mandible. The current standard of treatment for ameloblastomas is resection followed by reconstruction that has historically been accomplished through the use of a microsurgical vascularized flaps taken from the iliac crest or fibula. Alloplastic reconstruction methods have gained popularity over recent years with success reported in the reconstruction of many pathologies, including ankylosis, condylar fracture, neoplasia involving extensive resection, severe inflammatory/degenerative temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disease, and congenital TMJ abnormalities. The authors present a patient who successfully underwent ameloblastoma resection and TMJ reconstruction with a custom TMJ Concepts alloplastic implant. The authors also present a review of the literature on alloplastic TMJ reconstruction following ameloblastoma resection. To our knowledge, this is the second report in the literature on the use of a TMJ Concepts implant after ameloblastoma resection.
