“…However, they suggested that in selected cases, ameloblastomas with limited extension can be treated with a conservative surgical approach and a radical resection can be carried out following a relapse if clinically indicated. 9 In another study, Sampson and Pogrel contended that simple curettage of ameloblastoma is associated with very high recurrence rates. For introsseous lesions curettage or marginal resection should be combined with cryotherapy.…”

“…11 Hammarfjord O et al, in their study mentioned that histologically, ameloblastoma cells can be seen up to 8 mm from the radiographic and clinical margin of the lesion. 9 This has led to a general principle that while performing surgery, a 1 cm of safe bony margin should be included around the radiographic limits of the lesion. In lesions with extraosseous extension, at least one tissue plane of clearance should be included around such lesions should.…”

A B S T R A C TAims and objective: To evaluate the surgical treatment given and do a regular follow up to study the recurrence rate and complications of ameloblastoma in our institution. Materials and methods: A total of 31 cases of various subtypes of ameloblastoma, treated with different modalities, in the Department of OMFS, were recalled for a follow up & radiographs were taken along with the clinical examination for any recurrence or complications such as fracture/exposure of the reconstruction plate, loosening of the screw, infection of the graft, any draining sinus/signs of infection. Results: Two of our patients had fractured reconstruction plate, one patient developed infection, one patient complained of screw exposure and two other patients had infection of the iliac graft. Conclusion: We conclude that an adequate resection with a safe margin could be a treatment option and can be undertaken depending on the extent, location of the lesion and histopathologic variant.

“…The surgical methods are the prevailing procedures in the treatment of ameloblastomas. In many cases, the treatment includes total resection of the lesion and, in most cases, the resection is supraperiosteal with adequacy of free margins 33 . Desmoplastic ameloblastomas have some particularities, and more aggressive approaches are indicated in their treatment.…”

“…Hammarfjord et al 33 argue that radical resection is still the best method for ameloblastomas, because the results have shown the lowest rates of recurrence. Still, the authors recommend radical recession for cases in which the lesions are considerably extensive.…”

Ameloblastoma is a benign neoplasm essentially composed of epithelial tissue that has an invasive and infiltrative behavior at local level with a high recurrence rate. The prevalence of tumors and oral cysts is 1%, and the prevalence of odontogenic tumors is about 11%. The etiology is not yet fully known; however, one of the most accepted theories is that the lesion starts developing from remaining cells of the dental lamina, reduced enamel epithelium, Malassez's epithelial rests, or even from a basal cell layer of the epithelium surface. The literature does not report sex-and ethnicity-related occurrence; however, it is known that the most affected anatomical region is the mandible. It is essential to study oral lesions with the purpose of promoting early diagnosis and the most conservative intervention possible. This way, this study is a literature review of works published between 2006 and 2014 conducted to find the existing protocols for the treatment of ameloblastomas.

Odontogenic tumours of the maxillofacial region presents with a large number of histologic patterns and are derived from the primordial tooth forming tissues. They can occur most commonly in mandible and maxilla. The recent WHO classification helps in developing the appropriate treatment plan and categorizing the tumours. The present chapter deals with various benign odontogenic tumours with their clinical presentation and management in detail, based on clinical scenarios.
