Abstract
Ameloblastoma is a benign but aggressive neoplasm of odontogenic origin with a predilection of themandible. It can be of various types based on histopathological features. Follicular and plexiformameloblastoma are the most common types of ameloblastoma. There are various methods for managementof ameloblastoma amongst which dredging is considered a conservative surgical procedure which involvesenucleation or deflation and enucleation and repeated removal of scar tissues to accelerate newbone formation.
