Study Notes
Ameloblastoma
- The unicystic type of ameloblastoma is more likely to recur if enucleated
- The most common type of ameloblastoma is the unicystic type
- The peripheral type of ameloblastoma is particularly dangerous due to the difficulty of obtaining an adequate surgical margin around the tumor
- The peripheral type of ameloblastoma accounts for 10% to 15% of all intraosseous ameloblastomas
Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor
- Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumors are commonly seen in the age range of 10-19 years
- Lesions of Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumors often appear in the anterior maxilla
- The tumor is believed to arise from rests of dental lamina or basal epithelial cells
Other Odontogenic Tumors
- The odontogenic tumor that typically presents with tenderness and tooth mobility is the squamous odontogenic tumor
- The treatment of choice for squamous odontogenic tumors is surgical excision
- The tumor described as a well-circumscribed, often semilunar lesion associated with the cervical region of roots of teeth is the peripheral odontogenic fibroma
- Mixed odontogenic tumors pose a problem in classification due to the varying proportions of epithelial and mesenchymal components
- Enucleation has the highest reported recurrence rates
