Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="author" id="abs0005"> <title id="sect0005">Abstract</title> <sec> <p id="spar0005">Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma resembles ameloblastic fibroma but it differs in that it contains dentin and enamel. This is a very rare type of odontogenic tumor that occurs most commonly in the posterior mandible. We report a case of 31-year-old female in whom an extremely large ameloblastic fibro-odontoma appeared in the left maxilla and extended to the orbital floor. We removed the tumor by means of Le Fort I osteotomy. We obtained esthetically good results without recurrence.</p> </sec> </abstract>
