Unicystic Ameloblastoma with Mural Proliferation Managed by Conservative Treatment

Unicystic Ameloblastoma with Mural Proliferation Managed by Conservative Treatment

Unicystic ameloblastoma is a distinguishable entity of ameloblastomas, characterized by slow growth and being relatively locally aggressive. Three histological types are recognized according to the degree of ameloblastomatous epithelial extension, namely, luminal, intraluminal, and mural types. This...
