Ameloblastic Fibrodentinoma: A 12 Years follow-up of a Rare Entity.

ABSTRACT

Ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD), according to the WHO is a neoplasm similar to ameloblastic fibroma, but also showing inductive changes that lead to the formation of dentine. AFD is a very rare odontogenic mixed tumor and only <40 cases have been reported so far. The origin, like other mixed odontogenic tumors is from the odontogenic apparatus. Two schools of thought exist, one to consider it as a variant of ameloblastic fibroodontoma and the other categorize it as a separate entity. An AFD in an 1½-year-old male patient with 12-year follow-up after treatment is presented.
