Mandibular reconstruction following resection of tumors can be challenging for surgeons globally and in the Caribbean. This case highlights the use of a 3D printed Patient Specific Implant for mandibular reconstruction following resection for Ameloblastoma. This has not been previously reported in the regional literature and includes a brief discussion of the challenges of mandibular reconstruction and the impact of Patient Specific Implants.
