Massive maxillary ameloblastic fibro-odontoma: Case report with surgical management

A Case of Ameloblastic Fibroodontoma Extending Maxillary Sinus with Erupted Tooth: Is Transcanine Approach with Alveolectomy Feasible?

“…Dental like radiopaque foci surrounding well-defined radiolucent borders are the most detectable feature of AFO in radiological examinations [4, 5]. Radiological findings of the AFO were similar in the present patient.…”

Clinicoradiopathologic Analysis of Odontomas: A Retrospective Study of 242 Cases

“…This suggests that this entity is molecularly distinct from odontomas. In addition, some cases of AFO are associated with locally aggressive biologic behavior and recurrence, which is a feature rarely seen in odontomas [18,35,36]. One of the four cases of AFO in this study did recur.…”

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. Case report and review of the literature

“…The ratio of radiopaque to radiolucent areas differs from one lesion to another; sometimes the mineralized element in the tumor predominates, and the lesion may resemble an odontoma (Hawkins and Sadeghi, 1986). Some of the lesions are relatively small when first detected, measuring 1e 2 cm in diameter; others may be exceedingly large, involving a considerable portion of the body of the mandible (Savitha and Cariappa, 1998) or maxilla (Miller et al, 1976;Piette et al, 1990).…”
