Case report illustrates mandibular regeneration post-segmental mandibulectomy in a child with ameloblastoma, highlighting management implications.

Progressive regeneration of the mandible was observed postoperatively, reducing the need for further reconstruction.
The patient, a healthy 12-year-old girl, underwent segmental mandibulectomy for a plexiform ameloblastoma.
Serial imaging at 17 months indicated successful mandibular regeneration, favoring early aggressive management.
Factors like age, infection absence, and rigid fixation were crucial in planning for effective mandibular regeneration.

Grewal et al. (2025) studied this question.
