A man had a lesion of the anterior mandible that was initially diagnosed at 39 years of age as an adenomatoid odontogenic tumor. The lesion recurred 3 times over a span of 16 years. A consultative review of all histological findings was done and the tumor was reclassified as an ameloblastoma.

This article reports 5 previously unreported cases of central granular cell odontogenic tumor and compares them with 25 cases from the literature. This lesion appears to be an uncommon benign odontogenic neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis; it occurs over a wide age range with a predilection for the mandibular premolar-molar region. Radiographically, it typically manifests as a well-defined unicystic or multilocular radiolucency, although it can be a mixed-density lesion as well.

ABM/P-15 is a combination of a natural anorganic bovine-derived hydroxyapatite matrix (ABM) and a synthetic cell-binding peptide (P- 15; PepGen P- 15) that has shown the capacity to encourage substantial clinical fill of periodontal infrabony defects. Human histology following its use has not been evaluated on pathologic root surfaces. A maxillary lateral incisor with advanced adult periodontitis that was treatment planned for extraction was treated with sulcular incisions, full-thickness flap reflection, debridement of granulomatous tissue from the defect, placement of a notch in the root at the apical extent of calculus, mechanical root planing, brief cleansing with citric acid, grafting with ABM/P-15, wound closure with sutures, and placement of a periodontal dressing.
