A Case of Central Giant Cell Granuloma in the Mandibular Molar Region

This case report describes the treatment of central giant cell granuloma that occurred in the molar region of the mandible. A 28-year-old woman presented with a swelling of the right molar area of the mandible and underwent an X-ray and a computed tomography scan of the mandible. These examinations showed bone destruction in the right molar region of the mandible. The patient was diagnosed with giant cell granuloma in the mandibular molar region by biopsy. After resection of the tumor and a graft of particulate cancellous bone and marrow (PCBM) from the ilium under general anesthesia, reconstruction of the right mandibular molar region was performed using a composite mesh plate of hydroxyapatite (HA) particles and poly [L-lactide] (PLLA). At 2.5 years postoperative follow-up, the patient has a good prognosis with no signs of relapse.
