Abstract

  Ameloblastomas are rare odontogenic tumors of the jaws, more frequently found in mandible. Etiology, clinical and histological behavior and various modality of treatment has been extensively discussed. Conservative treatment sometimes associated to additional procedures has been used as a good option for many treatments of this tumor. The present article has for objective describe a case of ameloblastoma of jaw treated by conservative methods where jaw fracture occurred as a complication of this initial therapeutics.

Keywords: Ameloblastoma; Conservative Treatment; Cryotherapy; Jaw Fracture
