Ameloblastomas are benign tumors that most commonly affecting the mandible. The 
current standard of treatment for ameloblastomas is resection followed by 
reconstruction that has historically been accomplished through the use of a 
microsurgical vascularized flaps taken from the iliac crest or fibula. 
Alloplastic reconstruction methods have gained popularity over recent years with 
success reported in the reconstruction of many pathologies, including ankylosis, 
condylar fracture, neoplasia involving extensive resection, severe 
inflammatory/degenerative temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disease, and congenital 
TMJ abnormalities. The authors present a patient who successfully underwent 
ameloblastoma resection and TMJ reconstruction with a custom TMJ Concepts 
alloplastic implant. The authors also present a review of the literature on 
alloplastic TMJ reconstruction following ameloblastoma resection. To our 
knowledge, this is the second report in the literature on the use of a TMJ 
Concepts implant after ameloblastoma resection.
