“…Ameloblastic carcinoma also presents various radiographic manifestations, with findings that may be similar to cysts, benign tumors, or other malignant tumors. 6,9,[21][22][23][24][25] In some cases, the radiographic appearance of ameloblastic carcinoma is very similar to that of ameloblastoma. Radiographically, both lesions can show either unilocular or multilocular radiolucency with tooth-root resorption and tooth displacement.…”

This therapy was performed on the intraoperative bone margin through tissue fixation, drilling, or cauterizing bone tissue.…”

“…The ideal reconstruction would provide a solid arch to articulate the upper jaw that would restore swallowing, speech, mastication, and aesthetics. 11 The mylohyoid muscle and soft tissue were sutured around the plate. The gingivobuccal mucosa was sutured to the mouth floor with watertight and airtight principles.…”
