Ameloblastic Fibroma Mimicking Dentigerous Cyst: A Diagnostic Dilemma.

Ameloblastic fibroma is a rare, slow-growing odontogenic mixed tumor with neoplastic epithelial and ectomesenchymal tissue, which does not show inductive changes to form enamel and dentin. It is frequently found in the first two decades of life. It is often confused with ameloblastoma and dentigerous cyst due to the presence of an impacted tooth and can be distinguished histologically.

Ameloblastic Carcinoma: A Rare Malignant Tumour in Maxillofacial Region.

Primary and secondary closure of the surgical wound after removal of impacted mandibular third molars.

Aim: The present study attempted the evaluation of Primary and secondary closure techniques after removal of impacted third molars in terms of healing, post-operative pain and swelling.

Material And Methods: 60 patients with impacted mandibular third molars were randomly divided into two groups of 30. Panoramic radiographs were taken to assess degree of eruption and to asses 3rd molar angulations to the long axis of 2nd molar.
