  • Title: An anatomical classification of maxillary ameloblastoma as an aid to surgical treatment.
    Author: Jackson IT, Callan PP, Forté RA.
    Journal: J Craniomaxillofac Surg; 1996 Aug; 24(4):230-6. PubMed ID: 8880449.
    Abstract:
    Maxillary ameloblastoma is a different entity from its mandibular counterpart. It is reported to behave more aggressively and have a poorer prognosis. Eleven maxillary ameloblastomas (three recurrent) are reported with a follow-up ranging from 1 month to 12 years with no recurrences. It is proposed that radical treatment of these tumours, with good reconstruction, can give satisfactory function and survival. To that end, the tumours have been classified as to their position in the maxilla and surgical resection related to this.
