AI Article Synopsis

  • Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a rare, benign odontogenic tumor, making up 1.5-4.5% of all such tumors, primarily affecting young people.
  • AF commonly appears as a well-defined radiolucency in the mandible and is typically asymptomatic until it causes jaw expansion.
  • Treatment involves surgical removal, and while recurrences are uncommon, long-term monitoring is advised; the report includes a case study of a 1-year-old girl with AF.

Article Abstract

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a relatively rare, slow growing benign mixed odontogenic tumor, comprising of 1.5-4.5% of all odontogenic tumors. It is usually asymptomatic except for the eventual expansion of the jaw. AFs are most common in adolescents and young adults, mostly affecting the mandible as a well-defined uni or multilocular radiolucency. The effective surgical treatment includes enucleation and curettage of the surrounding bone and removal of the affected teeth. Although recurrence of AF is rare, a long term follow up is recommended. This report describes a 1-year-old girl with AF in the mandible and discusses its clinical, radiographic and histological findings.

Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) and related lesions, namely ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO), span a spectrum from true neoplasms to hamartomas. The 2017 World Health Organization classification proposes that AFD and AFO are precursors to odontomas, yet their precise nature remains uncertain. This study examined 19 AF cases, 4 AFD, 15 AFO, 19 odontomas (OD, 14 complex, 5 compound), and 2 ameloblastic fibrosarcomas (AFS), focusing on clinical characteristics, recurrence, and molecular profiles.

The acetylation of histones H2A on lysine 5 (H2AacK5) and H3 on lysine 27 (H3AcK27) modulate several cellular mechanisms through the p300 enzyme in pathological lesions; however, their role in odontogenic lesions has not been addressed. This study aims to evaluate the immunoexpression of p300, H2AacK5, and H3AcK27 in samples of ameloblastoma (AMB) (n = 30), odontogenic keratocyst (OK) (n = 15), adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) (n = 10), odontogenic fibroma (OF) (n = 8), calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) (n = 8), odontogenic myxoma (MIX) (n = 10), and ameloblastic fibroma (AF) (n = 06). The percentage of p300-positive cells was higher in AOT and decreased in COC, OK, AMB, AF, OF, and MIX.

Article Synopsis
  • The research analyzed the occurrence of odontogenic tumors (OT) and certain cysts at an oral pathology center in New Zealand over 15 years, revealing that 1.8% of biopsies were identified as these conditions.
  • The most common types identified were odontoma, ameloblastoma, and cemento-ossifying fibroma, with male patients and those diagnosed in the mandibular region being more prevalent.
  • The study highlighted the importance of long-term monitoring for patients with OKC and ameloblastoma due to their recurrence rates of 15.2% and 13.7%, respectively.

Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Faculdade de Odontologia, Rua Ramiro Barcelos, 2492, sala 503 CEP: 90035-003, Santana, Porto Alegre RS, Brazil

Article Synopsis
  • - This systematic review analyzed published data on synchronous cemento-ossifying fibromas (COF), including their demographic and clinical features, utilizing various databases and following PRISMA guidelines.
  • - A total of 19 studies with 20 COF cases were examined, revealing a mean patient age of 35 years, a predominance of female patients (60%), and simultaneous involvement of the mandible and maxilla in 65% of cases.
  • - Management typically involved surgical procedures, with a recurrence rate noted in 15% of cases that had follow-ups, and the findings suggest that synchronous COF is rare, especially affecting women in their 30s.

Article Synopsis
  • This case report talks about a rare, non-cancerous tumor in the jaw and looks at information from studies done between 2017 and 2023.
  • The team used special 3D imaging and tools to accurately remove the tumor from the patient's jaw and checked it to learn more about it.
  • These types of tumors are often found by chance during regular check-ups, and if treated properly, they usually heal well and don’t turn into something worse.
