The ameloblastic fibroma, ameloblastic fibrodentinoma, and ameloblastic fibro‐odontoma are mixed odontogenic tumors that are considered to arise from both epithelial and mesenchymal elements of the tooth germ. This article presents the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of 23 new cases. The patients' ages ranged from 3 to 19 years (median 9). Most tumors were asymptomatic and were associated with an unerupted tooth or teeth. All patients were treated with simple enucleation of the tumor. We found that histologically these lesions comprise a spectrum. Some were probably benign odontogenic tumors (neoplasms) and others were odontomas undergoing maturation (hamartomas); however, in any given case we were, on histologic grounds, unable to differentiate the two. The majority, if not all, of our cases were nonaggressive with little or no tendency to recur, whereas some reported cases have exhibited local aggressiveness and recurrence, suggestive of neoplasia. In our opinion, it is clinically important to distinguish the mixed odontogenic tumors from ameloblastoma since the mixed tumors, found mostly in children, are relatively benign when compared to ameloblastoma, which is found in all age groups (usually adults). The usually innocuous behavior of these lesions does not justify aggressive treatment initially, and simple enucleation should be appropriate in most cases.

“…Odontogenic tumours occur as a result of disturbances in the development of teeth and associated structures (Eversole et al, 1971;Gold, 1991). They share two major characteristics, namely they arise from the tissue with the potential for differentiation into tooth or periodontal structures, and therefore found exclusively in the mandible and maxilla and, on rare occasions, the gingiva.…”

“…In addition, significant numbers of residual or recurrent ameloblastic fibroma cases have shown no evidence of further maturation into a more differentiated odontogenic lesion, such as an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma or an odontoma. 19,20 Radiographic findings of the present case showed severe radiopaque accumulation inside the lesion. This finding gives rise to thought that the lesion is in a mature stage, so it might start to develop at a much smaller age and a long period of time passed for development of the tumor to the mature stage.…”

Ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) is classified as a rarely seen benign mixed odontogenic tumor. Ameloblastic fibrodentinoma is common in children and young adults with painless swelling and mostly seen at the mandibular posterior region and usually associated with unerupted tooth. In this clinical report, an 11-year-old-boy referred to Ankara University, Faculty of Dentistry, with the complaint of pain and swelling at the mandibular posterior region, diagnosed as AFD, is presented. Extraoral examination showed swelling at the affected side. In intraoral examination, a rough painful swelling was invincible with a delayed eruption of deciduous second molar tooth. Panoramic radiography revealed well-defined radiolucency with large radiopacity above the crown of unerupted permanent second molar in the left mandible. The provisional diagnosis was complex odontoma. Biopsy resulted as AFD. The treatment achieved with total excision of the tumor and the second premolar tooth. Resorbable fixation plates were used for strengthening the excised region of the mandible. No recurrence or clinical complaints were noted during 1-year follow-up.
