A radiographic study of recurrent unicystic ameloblastoma following marsupialization. Report of three cases
Abstract
Objectives: To study the radiographic sequence in the recurrence of unicystic ameloblastoma following marsupialization.
Materials and methods: Retrospective analysis of three cases of uncystic ameloblastoma.
Results: Six distinct stages were identified in all three cases: bone regeneration starting at the periphery of the cavity; appearance of a diffusely sclerotic band; appearance of scalloping; expansion of scalloping; formation of a multilocular pattern; and enlargement of the cystic lesion.
Conclusion: The first radiographic sign of recurrence is scalloping of the sclerotic margin of the regenerated bone.
