Aims And Objective:
To evaluate the surgical treatment given and do a regular follow up to study the recurrence rate and complications of ameloblastoma in our institution.
Materials And Methods:
A total of 31 cases of various subtypes of ameloblastoma, treated with different modalities, in the Department of OMFS, were recalled for a follow up & radiographs were taken along with the clinical examination for any recurrence or complications such as fracture/exposure of the reconstruction plate, loosening of the screw, infection of the graft, any draining sinus/signs of infection.
Results:
Two of our patients had fractured reconstruction plate, one patient developed infection, one patient complained of screw exposure and two other patients had infection of the iliac graft.
Conclusion:
We conclude that an adequate resection with a safe margin could be a treatment option and can be undertaken depending on the extent, location of the lesion and histopathologic variant.
