Popis: Abstract Background Patients with mandibular conventional ameloblastoma undergoing radical surgical treatment experience greater trauma and often find it challenging to accept, whereas conservative therapy is associated with a higher recurrence rate. In this study, we have improved traditional conservative treatment for mandibular conventional ameloblastoma by curettage combined with bone cavity opening (Cur/BCO). This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Cur/BCO treatment by comparing its recurrence rate and bone mineral density (BMD) growth rate with the traditional conservative treatment approach. Methods A total of 40 patients, meeting the study’s inclusion and exclusion criteria from 2012 to 2020, were screened, with 20 in the modified group and 20 in the traditional group. ImageJ (RRID: SCR_003070) software was employed for measuring image indices. All data were analyzed using T-test, Chi-square test and Fisher exact test in SPSS 26.0 (p = 0.05). Results The incidence of recurrence was significantly lower in the modified group, at only 5%, compared to 35% in the traditional group (p
