A CLINICAL CASE OF SPONTANEOUS MANDIBULAR REGROWTH AFTER SEGMENTARY RESECTION AND FOLLOW-UP OF INFERIOR ALVEOLAR AND CERVICO-FACIAL NERVES RECOVERY

摘要

The authors present a case of mandibular complex odontoma with adjacent aneurysmal cystswith clinical findings easily confounding with ameloblastoma in which a particular surgical approachwas performed. The young age of the patient and the well confined tumour border allowed preservationof 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 anincomplete nerve recovery after the second surgery done for removing the Ti reconstruction plate.
