• #8 The Effect of Conservative vs. Radical Treatment of Ameloblastoma on Recurrence Rate and Quality of Life: An Umbrella Review

  https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/13/17/5339

  Ameloblastoma is a rare, benign, but locally aggressive odontogenic tumor that originates from the epithelial cells involved in tooth development. The surgical approach to treating an ameloblastoma depends on the type, size, location, and extent of the tumor, as well as the patient’s age and overall health. […] Currently, surgery is considered the most effective therapeutic option for this odontogenic lesion. To achieve complete excision of the lesion, either a conservative or radical approach can be employed for the treatment of ameloblastoma. […] Although invasive surgical procedures like enucleation and resection are commonly preferred treatments, they can lead to serious complications, such as facial deformities, maxillary bone fractures, dental losses, and paresthesia. […] In this regard, more conservative surgical techniques, such as marsupialization and decompression, may be suitable options. These techniques are significantly less invasive, and several studies have reported positive results in reducing jaw lesions.

  Multicystic ameloblastoma mainly affects adult patients between the third and seventh decades of life, frequently in the posterior region of the mandible. […] The objective of this study is to show that multidisciplinary treatment of ameloblastomas helps in total lesion excision associated with complete reconstruction of the damaged area. […] The advantages of this procedure include recurrence risk reduction due to segmental resection, reliable mandibular reconstruction and less surgical procedures, allowing full rehabilitation within a shorter period of time. […] Treatment may vary from curettage to broad bone resections, with or without reconstruction. […] The best treatment modality is still controversial. […] Many advocate a safety margin of at least 1cm beyond the tumor radiographic limits.

• #11 Approach and conservative surgical treatment of jaw ameloblastoma: case report

  http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0120-971X2021000200188

  Ameloblastoma is a benign neoplasm, originated from the odontogenic epithelium. It preferentially affects the mandible and due to its infiltrative growth pattern, it has a tendency to local recurrence. Treatment varies based on clinical, histological and radiographic characteristics. The aggressive treatment, such as marginal resection, has shown good results, however, it also has greater morbidity. Conservative treatments, such as decompression, enucleation and curettage, can also be used, with specific indications, and when carefully performed, it has a good prognosis. […] The typical treatment for ameloblastoma is radical resection with safety margins. Conservative treatment can also be used and has limited indication, which may include methods such as decompression, enucleation, curettage, peripheral ostectomy and chemical or physical cauterization.

  http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0120-971X2021000200188

  The definitive treatment of ameloblastoma is surgical and it is usually a safe resection, with the possibility of removing soft tissue. However, the extent of surgical intervention and the adoption of conservative or radical measures remains controversial. […] Conservative AU treatment consists of enucleation and/or marsupialization, combined or not with supportive techniques, such as curettage, peripheral ostectomy and cauterization. This technique is associated with less functional and aesthetic impairment, however, it may have a higher recurrence rate. […] Decompression has long been used as a treatment for odontogenic cystic lesions, mainly in large extensions in the mandible. This technique promotes bone neoformation and prevents extensive surgery. […] Conservative treatment represents a reliable approach to the management of unicystic ameloblastoma, presenting good aesthetic, functional and with low-risk of recurrence results.

• #13 The Effect of Conservative vs. Radical Treatment of Ameloblastoma on Recurrence Rate and Quality of Life: An Umbrella Review

  https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/13/17/5339

  Despite the prevalence of surgical intervention, the optimal treatment approach for ameloblastoma remains debated, with various systematic reviews (SRs) examining outcomes like recurrence rates, quality of life, and esthetic and functional impairment. […] Based on the results of this overview, conservative treatment may be recommended as the first-line approach for intraosseous ameloblastoma not involving soft tissue. However, given the expectation of a higher recurrence rate, it is advisable to reduce the interval between follow-up visits. […] The recurrence rate depends not only on the surgical treatment but also on multiple other factors, like type of tumor, histological variants, surgical ability, and instruments used. […] The meta-analysis revealed a significant combined effect size (RR = 3.01, 95% CI [2.02, 4.51], p < 0.001). This means that, on average, the recurrence rate is about three-times more likely in the conservative treatment group compared to the radical treatment group, and this result is statistically significant. [...] For clinicians, this review underscores the importance of weighing the benefits of lower recurrence rates against the risks of adverse outcomes, including esthetic and functional impairments.

• #14 Ameloblastoma: Management and Outcome

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6289562/

  Ameloblastoma is a locally destructive tumor with a propensity for recurrence if not entirely excised. […] Management of ameloblastoma poses a challenge for all involved in the field of head and neck surgery because successful treatment requires not only adequate resection but also a functional and aesthetically acceptable reconstruction of the residual defect. […] Resection with wide margins and reconstruction in the same sitting is currently accepted as the treatment of choice in most cases. […] Segmental mandibulectomy with removal of 1-2 cm disease-free bone with immediate reconstruction is considered as an ideal treatment for ameloblastoma. This gives good cosmetic results and also addresses speech and eating problems. […] The revolutions in the field of reconstructive microsurgery made free tissue transfer the method of choice for reconstruction of bony defect. In addition to covering large composite bony defects the free fibular flap also gives good aesthetic and functional outcomes with options for dental rehabilitation. […] The management of ameloblastoma still poses a big challenge in spite of being the most common odontogenic tumor.

  Doctors diagnose about 300 to 600 cases of ameloblastoma in the United States each year. Neither drugs nor radiation have been successful at eradicating the cancer, leaving surgery as the only option. Though the tumors are considered benign, surgeons must cut away large margins around the growths to try to ensure that it will not reoccur. Because the operation removes a portion of the jaw as well as arteries and facial nerves, the patients require extensive reconstructive surgeries and rehabilitation to regain the ability to smile and chew. […] „They require quite a disfiguring surgery to treat,” said Andrew McClary, MD, chief pathology resident at Stanford Hospital Clinics. Patients often lose a large section of their jaw, he said. […] Throughout this project, McClary has engaged with an ameloblastoma Facebook group to hear members’ stories and to learn what a patient goes through during the initial surgery and subsequent facial reconstruction. He plans to conduct a webinar with the group, and can’t wait to share his findings with them.
