ABSTRACT

Ameloblastoma is characterized by being an odontogenic epithelial neoplasm with a benign nature (not including ameloblastic carcinoma or malignant or metastatic ameloblastoma), slow-growing, but locally aggressive. Within its clinical presentations, the solid or multicystic form is the one with the highest recurrence rate when it is treated conservatively (enucleation and/or curettage). We present the case of a patient with a diagnosis of multicystic ameloblastoma with a plexiform histopathological pattern, which is located in the right mandibular ramus and body, for this condition a block resection is carried out whose surgical technique was carefully planned with the support of the imaging studies, but especially highlighting the use of a stereolithographic model, thus reducing the operating time and increasing the precision in the placement of the osteosynthesis material. Pre, immediate postoperative and six months of evolution images are included, as well as the three-dimensional anatomical model.
