Abstract
Aggressive benign odontogenic neoplasms are a group of lesions that have the potential to grow to an enormous size resulting in bony deformities, locally aggressive behavior and have high recurrence rate. Ameloblastomas, keratocystic odontogenic tumors, etc., are included under this group of lesions. Treatment of these lesions is challenging owing to their particular characteristics including high recurrence rate, locally aggressive behavior, etc. A retrospective study was conducted in 40 patients who had undergone enucleation and open packing as treatment for benign aggressive neoplasms in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery. In the study, all the cases were followed up for a minimum of 5years clinically and radiographically. Satisfactory bone healing was noted with no evidence of recurrence in all cases. Enucleation followed by open packing with iodoform is an excellent conservative modality with proven minimal rate of recurrences in 5-year period.
