Ameloblastoma is one of the most common types of oral odontogenic tumors. As per literature,
ameloblastoma mostly occurs in the mandible butthe maxillary ameloblastoma has a more aggressive
behavior due to anatomical features. Also, unicystic ameloblastoma may have lower recurrent
rate. In this case report, we present a 60-year-old male patient with a history of unicystic ameloblastoma,
which the intraluminal adenomatoid odontogenic tumor excisional biopsy surgery was
performed but the patient didn’t follow the treatment completely, and after two years he came back
with swelling of the right upper alveolar ridge. After the second surgery, the histopathologic report
revealed a mixed plexiform-follicular ameloblastoma recurrence and it seemedthat previous surgery
was not sufficient and more radical treatment is needed for the lesion.
Keywords: Ameloblastoma; Maxilla; Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor.

Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in 2013, 90 graduate students who had entered Babol Faculty of Dentistry in 2004, 2005 and 2006 were studied. A valid and reliable questionnaire was used for data collection. Data was analyzed by SPSS using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: Mean age of the participants was 28.4 (SD=6.76) and 42.2% were male. Mean satisfaction score was 28.3±6.3 (out of 36). There was no significant difference among levels of participants’ satisfaction based on their entrance years. The married participants revealed higher satisfaction compared to the singles (p=0.05). The relationship between students’ satisfaction and their course duration was inversely significant (p=0.04). The participants’ satisfaction was not associated with their age, sex, total grade point average (GPA), thesis score, and their supervisors’ education and research history. No significant difference observed among the students’ satisfaction with supervisors from different departments (p=0.58).
Conclusion: Reinforcing supervision skills by performing suitable workshops providing a clear role description for faculty members and their students can improve the students' perspectives and theses presentation quality.
