Prosthodontic management of a patient with ameloblastoma of the lower jaw with implants.

Abstract

Mandibular ameloblastoma are rare, noncancerous tumors which originate from odontogenic epithelium. Ameloblastoma, commonly occurring in the mandible, disturbs its balance and symmetry. Surgical treatment of ameloblastoma though gets rid a patient of the tumour, but it may also result in compromised esthetics and function. The present case report focuses on the implant-supported rehabilitation of the mandibular region treated with surgical enucleation of the tumour.
