Biologic, anatomic and clinical considerations in the management of the classic intraosseous ameloblastoma of the jaws.
This paper reviews the types of surgical and nonsurgical treatment modalities that have been used to treat the classic intraosseous ameloblastoma of the jaws. The clinical, anatomic and biologic factors that may influence the clinicians' selection of a particular treatment modality were highlighted. Surgeons should be aware of these different modalities if they are to formulate a surgical treatment plan that is individualised to fit different clinical situations.
