Ameloblastomas are a rare, benign, slow-growing but locally invasive odontogenic neoplasm involving the mandible and the maxilla.<br \/>\nThe aim of the present article was to review and depict the main radiological features of ameloblastomas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:<\/strong> A review of articles published between January 2000 and October 2020 using Medline and the MeSH term \u201cameloblastoma\u201d in combination with the following terms \u201cimaging\u201d \u201cradiology\u201d, \u201cpanoramic radiograph\u201d, and \u201ccomputed tomography\u201d, was performed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>RESULTS:<\/strong> The most frequently adopted radiological imaging techniques for the study of ameloblastomas are panoramic radiograph, CBCT and computed tomography.<br \/>\nOn radiographs, CBCTs and CTs, ameloblastomas are radiolucent and either unilocular or multilocular.<br \/>\nPanoramic radiography allows for a preliminary assessment of the location, size, shape, margins and extension of the lesions. It allows for a kind of \u201cscreening\u201d X-ray examination and remains the first choice in the initial evaluation of tumors of the jaws<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>CONCLUSIONS:<\/strong> Dental practitioners should be aware of the radiological features of ameloblastomas. CT and CBCT scans play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment planning of such lesions, although panoramic radiograph still represents a valid imaging technique.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE:<\/strong> It may not be easy to differentiate between unilocular ameloblastomas from other odontogenic lesions.
