Background:

Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor typically affecting the mandible's posterior region.
It commonly occurs in the third to fifth decades of life.
Radiographic presentation varies, showing unilocular or multilocular patterns with distinct or ill-defined borders.

Observation:

A retrospective analysis of 14 ameloblastoma cases (2009-2011) focused on clinical and radiographic features.
Patient age ranged from 19 to 68 years, with a male:female ratio of 1.3:1.
The mandible was more frequently affected (78.57%) than the maxilla (14.28%).

Findings:

Multilocular ameloblastoma (85.72%) presented with soap-bubble (50%), spider-web (21.43%), and honeycomb (14.28%) patterns.

Unilateral involvement was seen in 42.86% and bilateral in 57.14% of cases.

Root resorption was a distinct feature in 78.57% of patients.

Implications:

Radiographs are crucial for diagnosing bone-involved oral lesions like ameloblastoma.
Understanding specific radiographic features is vital for clinicians, especially within local populations.
Accurate radiographic interpretation aids in the diagnosis and management of ameloblastoma.
