A CLINICAL CASE OF SPONTANEOUS MANDIBULAR REGROWTH AFTER SEGMENTARY RESECTION AND FOLLOW-UP OF INFERIOR ALVEOLAR AND CERVICOFACIAL NERVES RECOVERY
Abstract:
The authors present a case of mandibular complex odontoma with adjacent aneurysmal cysts
with clinical findings easily confounding with ameloblastoma in which a particular surgical approach
was performed. The young age of the patient and the well confined tumour border allowed preservation
of the inferior alveolar nerve, which had an intralesional course, by neuroraphy after tumour resection.
The postoperative paresis of the marginal branch of facial nerve was monitored and revealed an
incomplete nerve recovery after the second surgery done for removing the Ti reconstruction plate.
