Abstract
A case of mandibular bone graft with metallic mesh implant following a segmental resection for ameloblastoma was evaluated by means of 99m technetium disphosphonate bone scanning of the mandible. The bone scan showed good evidence of bone graft regeneration when conventional radiography could not read any bone tissue regeneration within the metallic mesh. The scan was extremely helpful in eliminating the need for surgical intervention and exploration.Entities:
