Abstract
Ameloblastoma is a common benign, locally aggressive odontogenic neoplasm that usually occurs in the vicinity of the mandibular molars or ramus. Uncontrolled, ameloblastoma may cause significant morbidity and occasionally death. The majority of ameloblastomas are multicystic, which are more difficult to eradicate than the unicystic and peripheral varieties. Although surgery is the mainstay of treatment, the extent of resection is controversial. The challenge in managing ameloblastoma is in achieving complete excision such that chances of recurrence is minimal and reconstruction of the defect when the tumour is large.
