Two cases of immediate reconstruction of the mandible with the anterior part of the ascending ramus

Abstract

We report on two patients in whom the mandible was immediately reconstructed with the anterior part of the ipsilateral ascending ramus.
The first patient, who had cemento-ossifying fibroma, received segmental resection and the second patient, who had ameloblastoma, received marginal resection. We followed up these cases from 4 years to 6 years after surgery. Radiographically, a good shape of the mandible was preserved in both patients.
Clinically, they had a sufficient alveolar ridge wearing dentures, and there was no cosmetic problem.
