Although it is benign, it can exert pressure on surrounding tissues. Despite its slow growth, it has the potential to erode bone and cause facial deformities. It is often noticed as a painless swelling and is frequently detected incidentally during radiological examinations. Treatment varies depending on the size and type of the tumor but is generally surgical. Due to the risk of recurrence, long-term follow-up may be necessary. Even though ameloblastoma is benign, if left uncontrolled, it can lead to serious functional and aesthetic problems.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/qu-est-ce-que-l-ameloblastome\/#What_Is_Ameloblastoma\" >What Is Ameloblastoma?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/qu-est-ce-que-l-ameloblastome\/#Types_of_Ameloblastoma\" >Types of Ameloblastoma<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/qu-est-ce-que-l-ameloblastome\/#Causes_of_Ameloblastoma\" >Causes of Ameloblastoma<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/qu-est-ce-que-l-ameloblastome\/#Early_Diagnosis_Makes_All_the_Difference\" >Early Diagnosis Makes All the Difference<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/qu-est-ce-que-l-ameloblastome\/#Symptoms_of_Ameloblastoma\" >Symptoms of Ameloblastoma<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/qu-est-ce-que-l-ameloblastome\/#How_Is_Ameloblastoma_Treated\" >How Is Ameloblastoma Treated?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/fr\/qu-est-ce-que-l-ameloblastome\/#Frequently_Asked_Questions_About_Ameloblastoma\" >Frequently Asked Questions About Ameloblastoma<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Ameloblastoma\"><\/span>What Is Ameloblastoma?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>Ameloblastoma is a very rare, benign but locally aggressive tumor that occurs in the jaws, especially in the lower jaw. It arises from ameloblasts \u2014 the cells responsible for forming teeth. Although it is benign, it tends to grow progressively and destructively into surrounding tissues. If left untreated or inadequately treated, the tumor can reach a considerable size, cause severe bone destruction, and lead to facial deformities and functional loss.

Follow-up is important because the risk of recurrence is high. The goal of treatment is to completely remove the tumor and minimize the risk of recurrence.
