A survey of 109 cases of ameloblastoma of the jaws in black Africans from Nigeria is presented. The neoplasms were removed by radical resection or by en bloc excision with preservations of the inferior border of the mandible. In selected cases, reconstruction was done using autogenous bone grafts or a Bowerman-Conroy prosthesis. Where the mandibular symphysis was not resected, adequate functional and esthetic results were achieved without reconstruction. All the bone grafts were successful, but most of the Bowerman-Conroy prostheses were rejected because of either infection or mechanical failure. Eight-year follow-up data were recorded; 35 patients were lost to follow-up, and of the 74 who were followed up, 31 (41.9%) were free of the disease for five years or more. Although complete excision was achieved in all the cases, there were three recurrences subsequent to segmental resections.
本文呈现了对来自尼日利亚的非洲黑人颌骨成釉细胞瘤109例病例的调查。肿瘤通过根治性切除或保留下颌骨下缘的整块切除进行切除。在部分病例中，使用自体骨移植或鲍尔曼 - 康罗伊假体进行重建。当未切除下颌联合时，无需重建即可获得足够的功能和美学效果。所有骨移植均成功，但大多数鲍尔曼 - 康罗伊假体因感染或机械故障而被排斥。记录了八年的随访数据；35例患者失访，在接受随访的74例中，31例（41.9%）无病生存五年或更长时间。尽管所有病例均实现了完全切除，但节段性切除后仍有三例复发。
