Abstract :
Introduction– Ameloblastoma is an aggressive, benign odontogenic tumour of the jaw with varying clinical features and histologic patterns. The treatment options of en block and segmental resection reduce the chance of recurrence. Resection of the mandible is associated with many complications like loss of jaw bone integrity, deformity, dysfunction, cosmetic and psychological distress. For these reasons, young, growing patients find these treatment options simply unacceptable. An alternative method for young growing patients is the conservative approach.
Materials and methods– Enucleation and chemical cauterization of the lesion with carnoy�s solution (6% ethanol, 3%chloroform, 1% acetic acid, 1 gm ferric chloride) followed by iodoform dressing routinely.
Results– Patient was followed up for 1.5 year. No recurrence was noticed.
Conclusion– In young growing patient a more conservative approach with close postoperative follow–up will significantly reduces the morbidity.
