“…Unicystic ameloblastoma is the second most common ameloblastoma and accounts for about 5–15% of all cases (Dhanuthai et al , ). It is most often seen in younger patients with average age of 26.1 years, and its main location is the posterior mandible where it often presents as an asymptomatic swelling (Bansal et al , ). The majority of unicystic ameloblastomas resemble dentigerous cyst because of their association with an unerupted tooth.…”

“…Most patients with ameloblastoma are between ages 30 and 60 years, but average age at time of diagnosis varies from continent to continent estimated to be approximately 42.3 and 30.4 years in Europe and Africa, respectively (Olusanya et al , ; Oomens and van der Waal, ). Only 10–15% of ameloblastoma cases occur in the pediatric population, but this can be as high as 25% in Africa and Asia (Bansal et al , ).…”

“…Although wide variation exists, most of the large series studies have reported a prevalence of ameloblastoma among children and adolescents approximately 6%-20% in comparison to the general population. The mean age at presentation is between 13 and 15 year old [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] . The exact figure of occurrence is rather difficult to determine as these studies and reviews show variation in the upper age limit of the study population.…”
