3 year old labrador with an ameloblastoma of the rostral mandible.  A rostral bilateral manibulectomy was performed (middle row of images).

Bottom picture shows excellent cosmetic result at 24 hours.  An oral approach was used so no clipping is required.  Functional result was excellent (no attempt is made to stabilise the rami) and the prognosis is excellent.
