Resorption of roots of involved teeth can be seen in some cases, but is not unique to ameloblastoma.

It was finally renamed to the modern name ameloblastoma in 1930 by Ivey and Churchill.

Persistent follow-up examination is essential for managing ameloblastoma.

The tissues involved are most often those that give rise to the teeth so that ameloblastoma may cause facial distortion.

It is considered to have a recurrence rate much lower than the recurrence rate for ameloblastoma.

There are three main clinical subtypes of ameloblastoma: unicystic, multicystic, peripheral.

There have also been reports of sarcoma being induced as the result of using radiation to treat ameloblastoma.

Other suggestions included ameloblastoma or a benign salivary mixed tumor (also known as a pleomorphic adenoma).

These include malignancy, inability to completely remove the ameloblastoma, recurrence, unacceptable loss of function, and unacceptable cosmetic damage.

Long standing dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, and residual cyst may have neoplastic potential converting into the locally aggressive ameloblastoma, or the malignant squamous cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

The removed cyst must be evaluated by pathologist to confirm the diagnosis, and to rule out other neoplastic lesions with similar clinical or radiographic features (e.g., cystic or solid ameloblastoma, central mucoepidermoid carcinoma).
