Abstract
Objectives
Ameloblastoma treatment includes variable methods from conservative to radical. A radical treatment option needs to consider
reconstructive procedures. Alloplastic joint prostheses which have been popular in recent years can be used. In this case report,
we present a case who was rehabilitated with an alloplastic joint prosthesis after radical ameloblastoma treatment.
Case Description
A 64-year-old patient was referred to our clinic. In the radiological examination, a multicystic lesion extending from the corpus
to the condyle of the right mandible was noticed. The biopsy procedure was applied under local anesthesia. The pathological
examination result was ameloblastoma. Segmental resection of the relevant region and rehabilitation with a custom TMJ
prosthesis in the region. The patient has been followed up for 5 months after the operation and is still being followed up.
Conclusion
After the TMJ prosthesis, we applied to our patient, our patient’s speech and chewing function were largely preserved. In
addition, there were no cosmetic problems. Although applying TMJ prostheses is more expensive than other radical treatments,
it contributes greatly to patient morbidity.
