Abstract:

Two cases of mandibular ameloblastomas were treated by enucleation, peripheral ostectomy and immediate iliac crest cancellous bone grafting to the residual bony defect. In the opinion of the authors, extensive resection of the mandible in all ameloblastomas is over treatment. The tumor can be eradicated completed by conservative treatment in many cases of mandible without causing a continuity defect.
