title: [Ameloblastoma of the mandible].
abstract: Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor of the jaws. The mandible is affected more often than the maxilla. Conservative treatment or radical resection may be indicated. We reviewed our experience with 16 cases of ameloblastoma. We concluded that radical resection is more appropriate despite the sequelae.
