Abstract: Ameloblastomas are odontogenic tumors that are locally invasive and slow-growing. Their etiology is still not well defined, but the forms of treatment have been widely discussed because of the possibility of tumor recurrence and postoperative complications. In this study, six patients who were diagnosed with ameloblastoma in the mandibular region and were treated in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Hospital das Clínicas, Federal University of Goiás, between 1958 and 1963, were evaluated.

“…It is more frequent in the second decade of life, with no predilection for sex or ethnicity (Osterne et al, 2011;Thambi et al, 2012;Chae et al, 2015). The origin of ameloblastoma refers to the embryogenic development of the teeth, and it is currently accepted that the epithelium of the dental lamina is the primary tissue for its formation (Moraes et al, 2014).…”

“…The World Health Organization (WHO 2005),classifies ameloblastoma as a benign odontogenic tumor ,that accounts for around 23% of odontogenic tumors [1], yet only 1% of all tumors of the maxilla and mandible are ameloblastomas [2][3][4]. There is a slight male predilection and major occurrence in the mandibular molar-ramus area with a peak incidence in the 3rd -4th decade of life [1,5].…”
