Dentigerous cysts and ameloblastomas present with few symptoms, and clinical characteristics present when lesions reach larger dimensions following a considerable length of evolution, and thus, these lesions are often discovered in routine radiographic examinations. This studydescribes the histological findings and clinical, pathological, and radiographic correlations between dentigerous cysts and ameloblastomas which aid in diagnosis and treatment planning. Two male patients, aged 12 and 15, were attended at the Faculty of Dentistry of the CartagenaUniversity in Colombia due to swelling at the mandibular symphysis and lower right third molar area. The clinical, radiographic and histological findings are described. Clinical and radiographic findings must be taken into account to diagnose dentigerous cysts and ameloblastomas, withhistopathological examination providing the definitive diag...

Objectives: To clinically and sociodemographically characterize bony exostoses in the stomatognathic system, identifying their prevalence, anatomical distribution, and potential associated factors such as family history and oral parafunctional habits. Materials and Methods: A retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted using 178 medical records of patients treated between 2020 and 2024 at a private stomatology, oral and maxillofacial surgery practice in Medellín. Sociodemographic, anatomical, environmental variables, and family history were analyzed. Data collection was performed via a standardized form, followed by descriptive statistical analysis. Results: Eighty-three percent of patients were female and 17% male, with a mean age of 37 ± 3 years. Forty-five percent originated from the Andean region. Bony exostoses were predominantly located in the mandible (54.7%)...

El ameloblastoma multiquístico, una neoplasia odontogénica de crecimiento lento, pero comportamiento agresivo, suele manifestarse en la mandíbula, generando deformidades faciales, pérdida dentaria y desplazamiento de tejidos adyacentes. Este estudio tiene como objetivo describir el tratamiento quirúrgico multidisciplinario del ameloblastoma multiquístico en una localización inusual, destacando el compromiso de estructuras vitales y los estudios complementarios necesarios para un diagnóstico preciso. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino con una lesión en la hemicara izquierda, que se había desarrollado durante aproximadamente ocho meses, abarcando desde la región temporoparietal hasta la región maseterina ipsilateral. La evaluación clínica y radiológica inicial sugirió la posibilidad de un ameloblastoma multiquístico, confirmado posteriormente mediante biopsia. Co...
