“…Small lesions without or with little cortical rupture can be successfully treated by conservative approach (Zouhary et al, 2008;De Riu et al, 2010). The question in these cases is the maintenance of the involved tooth/teeth, and we believe that if the teeth do not interfere with the enucleation of the tumour, there is no reason to remove them, with the possibility of spontaneouseruption occurring (Zouhary et al, 2008;Pontes et al, 2008).…”

“…According to the literature, AFO is not an aggressive tumour and it can be treated adequately with curettage when managing small lesions (Zouhary et al, 2008;Pontes et al, 2008;De Riu et al, 2010). However, there is no consensus about the treatment of extensive tumors.…”

“…Histologically, the differential diagnosis between AFO and ameloblastic fibroma is based on the presence or absence of enamel and dentin (Santos et al, 2011;Soares et al, 2006). However, other mixed tumors should also be considered, such as calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor and complex odontoma (Pontes et al, 2008;Zouhary et al, 2008).…”

The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a mixed odontogenic tumor, with characteristics of ameloblastic fibroma, presenting enamel and dentin, which occurs more frequently in individuals aged 5 to 17 years. This paper reports na extensive case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the mandible of a 3-year-old patient, discussed in comparison to cases selected from a brief literature review on the clinical characteristics, Evolution and therapeutic options for this lesion. In the last years, there was no consensus in the literature concerning its etiopathogenesis and classification, yet recently the AFO was classified as a developing odontoma. This case is in accordance with the 7 cases reported in the literature of AFO in the mandible of children aged 10 years or younger, especially concerning the lesion pattern and evolution and treatment adopted. The patient did not present relapse and exhibited local bone regeneration at the 3-year follow-up.
