RESUMO

Introduction: The ameloblastoma is a locally aggressive odontogenic neoplasm with important clinical implications. This study evaluated the effectiveness of ameloblastoma treatment comparing two therapeutic methods: curettage and curettage followed by cryotherapy. Method: Retrospective review of fifty three patients with ameloblastoma from the Service of Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology of the Clinics Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, São Paulo University, from 1997 to 2006. The demographics aspects, clinics, radiographics and histologic types of the lesions were analysed. Additionally, the results and the postoperative complications related to both treatment modalities were also evaluated. Statistical analysis to observe the difference in the local recurrence rate and clinical variations between the two techniques was performed. Results: Eighteen patients (33.9%) were treated with curettage, 30 (56.6%) with curettage following by cryotherapy, segmentar mandibulectomy in four (7.6%) and ressection of soft parts in one (1.9%). Of the 53 patients, twenty five were female and twenty eight were male, with a mean age of 27.1 years. The mandible was the most affected site (92.5%). Radiographically, the most common aspect was multilocular image (67.3%) with a medium size of 62 mm. Follicular and plexiform ameloblastoma were the most common histological type (32.1%, each), followed by mixed of two or more histological types (20.8%) and unicystic type (11.3%). No statistical difference was revealed concerning the local recurrence rates. In addition, the site of occurrence, histologic types, radiographics aspects or previous history of ameloblastoma treatment did not show any correlation with local recurrence. Dehiscence was the complication more frequent of the both treatments. Pathological jaw fractures and formation of bony kidnapping were the complications predominantly associated with curettage following by cryotherapy. Conclusion: The recurrence rate of the ameloblastomas treated by curettage (5.5%) and curettage following by cryotherapy (10%) was low in comparison with most of the studies of the literature. Recurrences diagnosed and treated in opportune time did not represent failure of the treatment.
