Design: Clinical case report. Objective: To present custom-made total joint replacement as a suitable option after resection of extensive odontogenic tumors. Background: Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumor. Clinical presentation is characteristic as it presents with a slow growth rate, but highly expansive and recurrent. Ample resection with safety margins is imperative to allow for a functional and predictable reconstruction. Methods: We present the case of a 51-year-old male diagnosed with a recurrent follicular ameloblastoma and was treated with segmental resection and subsequent reconstruction with custom-made total joint replacement. Results: Follow-up at 14 months after surgery showed satisfactory quality of life and proper functionality. Conclusions: Total custom joint replacement is an ideal option after extensive resections involving the articular region.
