Abstract
Multicystic ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor with aggressive characteristics, capable of causing, if not treated, many sequelae with a consequent decrease in the patient's quality of life. The present study aims to report a case of multicystic ameloblastoma in the mandible treated by radical surgery. A 34-year-old female patient sought dental care for a history of increased volume in the anterior mandible. After clinical examination, there was an increase in volume in the anterior buccal and lingual regions of the mandible. In radiographic examination, an extensive multilocular radiolucent area involving the entire anterior region was detected. The proposed treatment was a surgical approach of marginal block resection, preserving the mandibular base for arch maintenance. The patient has been under follow-up care for 1-year and is currently asymptomatic; implant reconstruction is being planned.
