ABSTRACT
Fifty-two patients of ameloblastoma were operated with special emphasis on radiographic and histological appearance. The unicystic radiographico-histological [38] cases were managed conservatively with marsupialization followed by enucleation [Group A' 15 Patients] and enucleation with peripheral ostectomy [Group B' 23 Patients]. The radiographico-histological multicystic [solid] variety [Group C' 14 Patients] was treated aggressively by resection. In conservative treatment regimens Carnoy's solution was applied after enucleation of the tumour whereas, the patients of aggressive surgery were operated with minimum 5mm safety marginal clearance of the tumour. The recurrence rate with average four years follow up was 0.0% for resection, 13.33% for marsupialization followed by enucleation and 8.69% for enucleation with peripheral ostectomy. The results were encouraging for unicystic ameloblastoma treated patients [Group A' and B'], in best interest of jaw bone contour preservation
