Radiographic characteristics of cystogenic ameloblastoma
Abstract
Radiographic patterns encountered in mandibular cystogenic ameloblastoma, a variant encountered among teen-agers and young adults, are described and correlated with age and recurrence after surgery. More than 75% of the cases are located in the posterior mandibular ramus area, and 50% are associated with an impacted third molar. The predominant radiographic patterns include unilocular and scalloped or macromultilocular pericoronal , interradicular , or periapical expansile radiolucencies.
