ABSTRACT

Solid ameloblastoma is the second most common odontogenic tumor after odontoma. It is a relatively common benign locally-invasive neoplasia of asymptomatic slow growth, which spreads slowly by infiltrating through the medullary spaces and may erode cortical bone and extend into adjacent tissues. If not properly removed, the rate of recurrence is high. Given its clinical and biological characteristics, the suggested treatment consists of resectioning with tumor-free margins of 1 cm. At the Centro Médico Nacional «La Raza», partial arthroplasty and reconstruction with a prosthesis designed to replace the articular condyle without an artificial fossa remains a common therapeutic option for tumor resection, where the integrity of the articular disc is preserved.
