Abstract

The author observed 97 cases ameloblastoma diagnosed in Department of Oral Radiology in Seoul National University and analyzed patient's age, sex, location, relation with adjacent anatomic structures, and radiographic forms. The obtained results are as follows: 1. The average age of patients was 28.7 years. The mean age of male was 28.5 years, and female's 30.0 years. Third decades revealed highest rate. 2. The occurrence of ameloblastoma is approximately evenly distributed in both sexes, male 46 cases (47.2%), female 51 cases (52.6%). 3. Ninty-five (98.0%) cases occurred in the mandible. The mandibular molar-ramus region was the most frequent site of the tumor (74 cases, 76.3%). 4. Most of the cases affected adjacent anatomic structures. 24 cases (24.7%) were shown to be definitely associated with an impacted tooth. 5. Radiographic forms are unilocular (29 cases, 29.3%), honeycomb (17 cases, 17.5%), and multilocular (67 cases, 69.1%) radiolucencies.
