“…In the present case, en bloc chin graft for later prosthetic rehabilitation was performed 5 years after UA resection, the interval during which most relapses occur. En bloc resection of UA or any other type of © C I C E d i z i o n i I n t e r n a z i o n a l i ameloblastoma produces bone defects of variable size that must be reconstructed in order to restore lost function and esthetics and to minimize the psychological impact of the surgical outcome (15). The most commonly used donor sites for bone reconstruction in the oral cavity are the mandibular ramus, mandibular symphysis, and maxillary tuberosity; the most frequently occurring complications deriving from bone harvesting can be treated locally or, in the case of more complex complications, by additional surgery.…”

SUMMARYObjective. The objective is to present a clinical case of a 38-year-old male with a maxillary unicystic ameloblastoma treated by means of tumor block resection followed by chin-harvested graft placement in order to place two dental implants for esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Methods. Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor characterized by local aggression and a high rate of recurrence; the latter partly depends on how it is treated. Complete resection of the tumor, which usually prevents recurrence, produces bone defects of varying size that must be reconstructed later on. In most cases this is done using bone grafts and implant-supported prostheses. Grafts harvested from the chin are relatively easy to obtain and enjoy a fairly uneventful post-operative with few complications; they are suitable for cases in which the defect generated by resection is of small size.Results. Functional and esthetic rehabilitation and the tumor has not relapsed during a 7-year follow-up. Conclusion. Tumor block resection followed by chin-harvested graft placement and dental implants is a safe treatment for patients with unicystic ameloblastoma.
