“…Recent reviews suggest in favour of surgical excision with a narrow margin of normal tissue with a minimum follow-up of 10 years. [ 4 , 5 ] None of the past studies delineated the various choices or modes of excision of PA, as most of them were excised utilising a scalpel. Diode laser was chosen for excision of the lesion due to its numerous advantages such as less intraoperative bleeding, less swelling in the area, better coagulation, reduction of postsurgical pain, lesser operative time and no need for suturing over conventional scalpel excision.…”

Rationale: Occurrence of peripheral ameloblastoma (PA) is rare. Excision of PA by diode laser is infrequent. Patient Concerns: A 27-year-old female patient presented with an asymptomatic mass on the retromolar trigone for the past one year. Diagnosis: Incisional biopsy showed aggressive PA. Treatment: The lesion was excised using a diode laser under local anaesthesia. The excised specimen revealed histopathological features of the acanthomatous variant of PA. Outcomes: The patient was followed up for two years without any evidence of recurrence. Take-Away Lessons: Diode laser is an acceptable alternative to conventional scalpel excision for intraoral soft tissue lesions, whereas, in the case of PA, it proves to be no exception.

“…In addition, peripheral ameloblastoma is another entity successfully treatable with conservative therapy. It is most frequently present in the gingival tissues and the conservative approach with narrow margins of unaffected tissue is treatment of choice [48].…”

Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin with locally aggressive behavior. It affects a broad age range of patients and it is most commonly found in the mandible, especially posterior area. The majority of ameloblastomas are conventional (multicystic), which are more difficult to eradicate than the unicystic or peripheral types. Although most of ameloblastoma cases can be treated predictably with radical surgical treatment, the management of recurrent and metastasizing ameloblastomas remains a major challenge. Surgical treatment is standard, but the extent of resection is controversial. Radical resection with segmental and marginal mandibulectomy or curettage and enucleation with better quality of life, but with higher recurrence rate. Besides the conventional surgical treatment, novel therapy options like neoadjuvant molecular targeted therapy and decompression in young patients could make a significant improvement in the management of the disease. The aim of this chapter was to determine the present and future concepts of treatment and discuss significant factors responsible for recurrence.
