Ameloblastoma

Diagnosis

Ameloblastoma diagnosis might begin with tests such as:

  • Imaging tests. X-ray, CT and MRI scans help doctors determine the extent of an ameloblastoma. The growth or tumor may sometimes be found on routine X-rays at the dentist's office.
  • Tissue test. To confirm the diagnosis, doctors may remove a sample of tissue or a sample of cells and send it to a lab for testing.
