ABSTRACT Ameloblastoma is the most common odontogenic tumour as it usually does not form metastasis, considered benign with a locally invasive growth pattern and destruction of jaw surrounding tissue. annual incidence 0.5 per 1.000.000 people, higher incidences are found in Africa, China India comparison western countries. About 80% ameloblastomas located mandible, mainly third molar region, 20...

Introduction: Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumour with high recurrence rate. The objective of the present study was to evaluate existing literature regarding clinical, radiographic, histopathologic features, treatment, and rate ameloblastomas compare it features recurrent ameloblastomas. Materials methods: A systematic review done based on PRISMA statement. Search performed in “Pubmed” datab...

adenoid ameloblastoma with dentinoid is a rare odontogenic tumor. granular cell ameloblastoma also is a less common histological subtype of ameloblastoma. in this report, the patient was a 31‑year‑old male. the lesion was located in the right mandible and was unicystic with well‑defined borders. the tumor tissue was showing a combination of follicular, plexiform, and desmoplastic patterns of am...

Various cell proliferation markers are used as diagnostic and prognostic tools in oral lesions. Simultaneous evaluation of these markers can increase the precision of estimation of the proliferative status of different tissues. In this study we investigated the expression of PCNA and Ki-67 as markers of cell proliferation in 15 paraffin embedded samples of each dental follicle, dentigerous cyst...

Ameloblastoma is a true neoplasm of odontogenic epithelial origin. Surgical resection of the ameloblastoma is well-documented and an accepted treatment modality. Vertical distraction of the alveolar process is an efficient method for augmentation. This method of providing additional bone and soft tissue for implant placement is becoming more common. This clinical report describes the use of dis...

background: the different growth mechanism and biologic behavior of the odontogenic keratocyst(okc) compared to other odontogenic cysts might be related to the proliferating capacity of itsepithelium. in this study, the aim was to evaluate and compare the distribution and staining intensityof p16 and cyclin d1 in okc and unicystic ameloblastoma (ua). materials and methods: in this descriptive a...
