Full Digital Workflow for Mandibular Ameloblastoma Management: Showcase for Technical Description

J Clin Med. 2023 Aug 25;12(17):5526. doi: 10.3390/jcm12175526.

Abstract

This is a showcase for technical description of a full digital workflow aimed to reconstruct and prosthetically rehabilitate the mandible after surgical resection. The surgery was performed following a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) guided workflow, using 3D reconstruction of the mandible and the fibula. After 2 years, when the ossification of the flap was reached and verified by a computed tomography (CT) scan, surgery was performed using a two-step implant rehabilitation, with successful outcomes.

Keywords: CAD-CAM; ameloblastoma; dental prosthetic rehabilitation; fibula flap.
