Wide surgical excision with split rib graft reconstruction of mandible for ameloblastoma; our 10 year experience.

Abstract
Ameloblastoma or adamantinoma is a benign odontogenic tumour arising in facial bones mostly in mandible. There are different modalities of treatment for ameloblastoma viz. chemotherapy, radiation therapy, curettage and liquid nitrogen but surgical resection or enucleation remains the most definitive treatment for this condition. After surgical excision mandibular defect can be reconstructed by non vascularised bone graft or free tissue transfer. we are presenting a detailed study of 50 patients in which mandible was reconstructed with non vascularised split rib graft after surgical resection of ameloblastoma. This is easy, less time consuming and requires no expertise with excellent results.
