Lourdes A study on the etiology and occurence of ameloblastoma among filipinos from 1980-1985 at the PGH dental dispensary Ma. Lourdes Angeles, Bethina Sazon. 11 leaves Seminar Paper--Doctor of Dental Medicine--University of the Philippines Manila. Ameloblastoma is a slow-growing, destructive lesion of the jaws. They have a wide age distribution and occur in both sexes. In considering the treatment of these lesions, one must take into consideration the patience's age, the patient's concern for his/her functional, social and esthetic requirements. It is not unreasonable to aim at conservative approach first, then radical surgery when the lesion recurrs. Small lesions can be treated by block excision or curettage. For large lesions and recurrencies in the mandible, jaw resection and immediate bone graft is indicated. In the author's experience, split ilia crest graft gives the best clinical result.
