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

Abstract

Abstract 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.
