Tissue-engineered ASCs could be utilized to treat a large anterior mandibular defect. (a) X-ray image shows a nearly 10 cm recurrence of an ameloblastoma in the parasymphyseal area of the anterior mandible. (b) T1-weighted magnetic resonance image shows a large tumor (ameloblastoma) in the anterior mandible. (c) X-ray image shows the six implant fixtures inserted into the grafted site. (d) The reconstructed chin taken from the front. (e) The reconstructed chin taken from the lateral side (adopted from [65]).
