Ameloblastoma of the Mandible: A Case Series

Abstract

Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic neoplasm which exhibits locally aggressive behavior. It commonly affects the mandible and is seen in the third to fifth decades of life. In most cases, an ameloblastoma is usually asymptomatic and may be detected during the course of routine radiographic examination. Radiographically, it may have a unilocular or multilocular appearance, which is usually well-defined and has a corticated margin in the mandible whereas ill-defined in the case of the maxilla. In this case series, we report three cases of ameloblastoma of the mandible.
