Use of 3D printed model as a reconstruction aid in the management of an extensive ameloblastoma of the mandible

Ameloblastoma is a benign jaw tumor that can grow to a very huge size with high rate of recurrence. The large tumors pose a challenge during resection and reconstructive surgery. We present a massive ameloblastoma of the mandible that was surgically treated with the aid of 3D printed model. Using 3D...

Summary:Ameloblastoma is a benign jaw tumor that can grow to a very huge size with high rate of recurrence. The large tumors pose a challenge during resection and reconstructive surgery. We present a massive ameloblastoma of the mandible that was surgically treated with the aid of 3D printed model. Using 3D printed model to achieve better results and shorten intra‐operative time in maxillofacial reconstruction.
