Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor generally present in the jaw bone. 
The tumor originates from the residual epithelium of the tooth germ, epithelium 
of odontogenic cysts stratified squamous epithelium and epithelium of the enamel 
organ. It represents approximately 1% of oral tumors. About 80% of 
ameloblastomas occur in the mandible mainly the third molar region and the 
remaining 20% in the upper jaw. Ameloblastoma clinically appears as an 
aggressive odontogenic tumor, often asymptomatic and slow-growing, with no 
evidence of swelling. This article deals with a complete review on
