    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
