In 2017, World Health Organization described the ameloblastoma like a benign, locally invasive neoplasm , that consists in proliferation of odontogenic epithelium, which usually presents a folicular or plexiform pattern, and it is found inside a fibrous stroma. It presents slow development and affinity with woven osseus tissue, with high recurrence (60% -80%) if it is not well resected. Variants like uniquistic and desmoplastic have better prognostic than solid o multicyst. It represents the 1% of tumors of the jaw and the 11% of odontogenic tumors. The following case is a male patient, 43 years old which goes to our service in 2016 by increasing volume of a year of evolution, asymptomatic, and with principles of tooth mobility in left side of the jaw. Intraoral examination shows increase in volume in mandibular region with increased cortical expansion which involves teeth 36 to 41, asym...

En el 2017 la Organización Mundial de la Salud describió al ameloblastoma como una neoplasia benigna, localmente invasiva, consistente en una proliferación de epitelio odontogénico, que usualmente presenta un patrón folicular o plexiforme, y se encuentra dentro de un estroma fibroso. Cursa con un lento crecimiento y gran afinidad por el tejido óseo, presenta un alto índice de recurrencia, aproximadamente de 60 a 80%, si no es removido de la manera adecuada. Algunas variantes como la uniquística y la desmoplásica cuentan con un mejor pronóstico que la sólida o multiquística. Representan el 1% de todos los tumores de la mandíbula y el 11 % de todos los tumores odontogénicos. Se presenta el caso clínico de un paciente masculino de 43 años de edad que acude a nuestro servicio en el 2016 por presentar aumento de volumen con un año de evolución, asintomático, y con principio...

The mandibular fracture is one of the most common types in pediatric maxillofacial trauma. The main objective of fracture management is the restoration of bone shape and function. Incomplete fractures are more common due to bone elasticity; so, usually the treatment of fractures in children is conservative. Due to the progress on materials bone reparation and technological improvement, currently the proportion of children treated with open reduction and internal fixation (RAFI) has increased. The use of miniplates and miniscrews are the gold standard treatment for craniomaxillofacial semirigid fixation. One alternative are the resorbable materials, which do not require the removal and are gradually degrade. This is a considerable advantage for the management of mandibular fractures in children. We present the case of a 6-year-old patient who suffered a parasympathetic mandibular and cond...
