DIFFERENT TREATMENT MODALITIES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF AMELOBLASTOMA | |
Navpreet Singh Bedi, Parveen Grewal | |
Ameloblastoma is a benign but locally aggressive epithelial odontogenic neoplasm. It represents 1% of all tumours of the jaw bone. In 80% of cases, it is localized in the mandibular molar and ascending ramus area, mostly associated with an unerupted tooth. It occurs over a wide range of ages and with equal frequency in men and women. It can be treated by enucleation, bone curettage or wide resection. The rate of local recurrence is high when it is treated inadequately. |
