The Profile of Ameloblastoma and the Status of Routine Clinical Records from a Developing Country Context
Journal Title: Dental Research and Management - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Ameloblastoma is a common odontogenic tumor with the potential of local invasion and recurrences. Moreover, it has a variable presentation and many challenges surrounding the management of the condition [1]. From public health perspectives through to molecular aetiopathogenesis it paints the portrait of heterogeneity and complexity [2-4]. For example, gender and age distribution, presenting complaints, the clinical record keeping scenarios in developing countries compared to the developed countries, the aggressive potential for local invasion, possibility for malignant transformation etc. Moreover, choosing the optimal mode of management (radical vs conservative surgery) poses a dilemma to the clinician. Findings of retrospective studies on de-identified case notes retrieved for varying follow-up periods provides the major source of scientific evidence on management of ameloblastoma.
