Abstract
Ameloblastoma is a benign, locally aggressive neoplasm that constitutes about 1–3% of the tumors of the jaw. Wide surgical excision with adequate safe margin is the most common treatment of choice. The study aimed to manage cases with unicystic ameloblastoma while preserving the continuity of the mandible (without resection). This article presents a series of cases ranging from 18 to 40 years old patients of both sexes with unicystic ameloblastoma, especially in the mandible showing more male predilection than female. All the cases presented in this article were treated by enucleation and curettage. None of the patients presented post?operative paresthesia. None of the cases went in for resection. Post?operative recovery was uneventful in all the patients. All the patients were followed up for a period of 3.5–5 years. None of the cases reported recurrence at the date of publication.
