Oral and maxillofacial surgery.

  • Ameloblastoma classic
    • Radical surgical excision combined with primary reconstruction (osteoplasty with fibula/bone reshaping with fibula bone).
    • Close follow-up in the first postoperative decade of life due to possible recurrence (recurrence of the disease).
    • Follow-up for decades thereafter
  • Ameloblastoma unicystic
    • Conservative or radical surgical removal
  • Ameloblastoma malignant/ameloblastic carcinoma.
    • Resection and reconstruction
    • Clearance of the lymph node stations
  • Ameloblastic fibroma
    • Conservative initial therapy
    • Radical surgical approach for larger tumors.
    • Long-term follow-up for at least 10 to 15 years.
  • Benign cementoblastoma
    • Early enucleation
  • Fibromyxoma
    • Radical surgical resection of the affected section of the jaw.
  • Calcifying odontogenic cyst
    • Complete excision
    • Long-term follow-up
  • Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (KEOT).
    • Radical surgical approach
  • Odontoma
    • Conservative surgical removal
  • Odontogenic fibroma
    • Conservative: consider gouging the affected area.
