Abstract
-
Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma consists of ameloblastic fibroma combined with an odontoma. Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma affects somewhat younger patients than ameloblastic fibroma and 62% of patients are younger than 10 years. Clinical, radiologic, and histologic studies were performed in 9-year-old child of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. Location of the lesion was the upper molar area. Radiographically, the opaque odontomatous tissues was observed in a circumscribed, but otherwise radiolucent area. Histologically, typical ameloblastic fibro-odontoma was associated with the calcifying or calcified dental tissues of an odontoma. In this paper, a case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma of the maxilla and a review of the literature is presented.
