| Summary: | Background: the unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) is considered a variant of ameloblastoma, with particular clinica-radiographic and histological characteristics, showing a better prognosis than the solid/ multicystic type. Objective: to describe the managing and procedures of a patient with an unicystic ameloblastoma intramural (IMUA) with emphasis in the late reconstruction and rehabilitation. Matherials and methods: a case of an 18-year-old male with a painless lesion in the mandibular anterior area, related to an impacted tooth. Radiographically, it showed a unilocular, corticalized image, which caused expansion of the cortical plates, a segmental resection and reconstruction plate placement was performed; in a second surgical time, autologous bone graft was placed and subsequent rehabilitation with implants. Discussion: the article discusses the choice of treatment based on the lesion biological behavior, as well as the need to restore aesthetics and function after radical surgery. |
