Synopsis:

An analysis of l9 cases of ameloblastoma is conducted in young Jamaicans. A new classification for ameloblastoma based on radiology is adopted and linked to the surgical management of ameloblastoma. No case simulating the classical dentigerous cyst was documented. The paper offers a new radiological classification which can assist in the management of ameloblastoma.

ABSTRACT
