local.description.resumoBackground: Unicystic ameloblastoma is an encapsulated odontogenic neoplasm with a single cyst cavity. The conservative or aggressive surgical approaches used to treat the tumor directly affect recurrence rates. However, there is a lack of a standard protocol that can guide its management. Study design: We retrospectively reviewed the clinicopathological findings and therapeutical procedures of 12 unicystic ameloblastoma cases treated by the same surgeon during the past 20 years. Methods: All cases of unicystic ameloblastoma diagnosed by biopsy and treated by the same surgeon between 2002 and 2022 were reviewed. Eligibility criteria were patients with completely filled-out charts containing the follow-up period and confirmation of the diagnoses based on the microscopic findings of the whole excised specimens. Data collected were categorized into clinical, radiographic, histological, surgical, and recurrence aspects. Results: There was a female predilection (2:1), and ages ranged between 18 and 61 years (mean: 27.25, ±12.45). Almost all (92%) affected the posterior mandible. Radiographically, the mean length of the lesions was 46.14 mm ± 14.28 mm which 92% were unilocular and 8.3% multilocular. Root resorption (n = 7, 58%), tooth displacement (n = 9, 75%), and cortical perforation (n = 5, 42%) were also observed. The mural histological subtype corresponded to 9 (75%) of the cases. The same conservative protocol was performed in all cases. The follow-up period ranged between 12 and 240 months (~62 ± 65) and recurrence occurred in only one patient (8%). Conclusion: Our findings suggest a conservative approach should be the first option for unicystic ameloblastoma treatment, even for those with mural proliferation.
