SURGICAL AND IMPLANTATION RECONSTRUCTION IN A PATIENT WITH GIANT-CELLCENTRAL REPARATIVE GRANULOMA

The giant-cell central reparative granuloma, unlike other giant-cell n eoplasias, is mainly found in maxillary bones, particularly in the man dible. We report a patient study of giant-cell central reparative gran uloma in the mandible extending from dental elements 34 to 44. The pat ient underwent excision of a neoplasm and reconstruction of the mandib le via an autologous bone graft of the iliac crest. To restore fully, functionally, and aesthetically the masticatory apparatus after verifi cation of graft stability, four osseointegrated implants were fixed, a nd an ''overdenture'' prosthesis was then applied, thus finally solvin g the problem.
