The Epidemiology, treatment, and complication of ameloblastoma in East-Indonesia: 6 years retrospective study

Abstract

BackgroundAmeloblastoma is a neoplasm classified as a benign epithelial odontogenic tumor of the jaws, grow slowly and are locally invasive. The aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence, treatment, and complication of patients with ameloblastoma in East-Indonesia during six years retrospective study.Material and MethodsThis retrospective study included 84 patients who were diagnosed with ameloblastoma from 2011 to 2016. There were 56 patients with treatment data available. Data from each patient, including gender, age, histologic type, the size of the tumor, radiologic form, tumor location, type of treatment, and complication were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively.ResultsFourteen patients were diagnosed with unicystic ameloblastoma (25%), thirty two patients with multicystic follicular ameloblastoma (57%) and ten patients with an unspecified multicystic ameloblastoma (18%). A total of about 35 patients were treated conservatively (62.5%) and 21 patients were treated radically (37.5%). Swelling was present as a pre-operative complication in all 56 cases (100%). There were no complaints concerning speech.ConclusionsThe majority findings of the histologic type were multicystic ameloblastoma and their location were in the mandible. Most ameloblastoma were treated conservatively and reconstructions were made with only titanium plates and not bone graft. Key words:Ameloblastoma, epidemiology, east Indonesia.

Deep Learning for Automated Detection of Cyst and Tumors of the Jaw in Panoramic Radiographs

“…Unfortunately, they are also asymptomatic during their progressive stage [ 27 , 28 ]. Due to such features of odontogenic cysts and tumor, relatively prevalent cysts such as dentigerous cysts and odontogenic keratocysts may turn out to be a threat to patient life quality if they are oversized or cause subsequent pathologic fracture [ 29 , 30 ]. Many types of ameloblastomas are more destructive in their progressive aspect.…”

Ameloblastoma of the mandible: analysis of radiographic and histopathological features

“…Large reviews by Agbaje et al [6], Ruslin et al [16], Siar et al [7] and Reichardt et al [1] indicate that the mandibular posterior region is the most common site affected by ameloblastoma. The results from this study corroborate these findings.…”

Ameloblastoma Unicístico de grande extensão em criança: um relato de caso

“…O tamanho da lesão, a idade do paciente, a proximidade com estruturas anatômicas nobres, potencial de crescimento e agressividade da lesão, importância clínica do dente envolvido são alguns dos critérios que devem ser considerados na escolha do plano de tratamento, assim como, as peculiaridades clínicas de cada caso. 21,22,[25][26][27][28] No presente caso relatado, o tamanho da lesão era considerado bastante extenso com comprometimento da estrutura óssea e deslocamento dos dentes, 47 e 48.…”

“…Além de trazer inúmeros benefícios aos pacientes do ponto de vista funcional e psicológico. 10,18,28 As características histopatológicas são mandatórias para escolha do tratamento dos ameloblastomas. O tipo unicístico é considerado na literatura como menos agressivo do que o convencional e, por conseguinte obtém melhor resposta ao tratamento empregado.…”
