Ameloblastoma is a common benign, locally aggressive odontogenic neoplasm that usually occurs in the vicinity of mandibular molars or ramus. Uncontrolled, ameloblastoma may cause significant morbidity and occasionally death. The majority ameloblastomas are multicystic, which more difficult to eradicate than unicystic peripheral varieties. Although surgery mainstay treatment, extent resection co...

Reviewing the literatures, the most frequently impacted tooth was mandibular third molar, followed by the maxillary third molars, the maxillary canines and the mandibular premolars. The current case report aimed to present a rare inverted and impacted maxillary third molar incidentally detected in a patient of mandibular unicystic ameloblastoma on panoramic radiography, highlighting the importa...

The aim of the present study is to examine all cases of intraosseous benign ameloblastomas treated between 1970 and 2010 in a single institution and to look for a possible correlation between the histopathological aspects and the demographical and clinical parameters, as well as the treatment outcome. The data of a total number of 44 patients were retrieved from the records. Nine patients were ...

OBJECTIVES Odontogenic tumors (OT) represent a specific pathological category that includes some lesions with unpredictable biological behavior. Although most of these lesions are benign, some, such as the ameloblastoma, exhibit local aggressiveness and high recurrence rates. The most common types of ameloblastoma are the solid/multicystic (SA) and the unicystic ameloblastoma (UA); the latter c...

Ameloblastoma is a true neoplasm of odontogenic origin and benign in nature. But it has a high percentage of local recurrence with possible malignant development when treated inadequately. The treatment planning in ameloblastomas is still not clear. We describe a case report of unicystic plexiform ameloblastoma in a young girl who was treated with conservative surgical management (enucleation &...
