Abstract

          Ameloblastoma is the most common benign odontogenic tumor. Each type of ameloblastoma has different clinico-radiographic presentations, histopathological features, and prognosis, that leads to differrent treatment modalities. The aim of this study was to present   the clinical , radiographic , and histopathological features as well as treatment modalities and recurrence rate of ameloblastoma. Ameloblastoma is the benign odontogenic tumor, with high recurrent rate when treated by conservative treatment. So we need to select the most suitable treatment modality for each patient with long-term follow-up.
