Study Notes
Benign Cementoblastoma
- Uncommon neoplasm arising from cementum, growing along the apical cementum of molars or premolars.
- Expands cortical plates but remains separate from bone.
- Typically diagnosed in the second and third decades.
- More frequent in males than females.
- Primarily located in the mandibular molar or premolar region.
- Lesions expand buccal and lingual cortical plates gradually.
- Associated teeth usually remain vital.
- Radiographically: Can appear radiolucent, mixed radiolucent/radiopaque, or completely radiopaque.
- Histologically: Characterized by an unmineralized matrix rimmed by cementoblasts (radiolucent).
- Demonstrates a capsulated mass of cementum (radiopaque) with prominent reversal lines.
- The neoplastic cemental tissue maintains continuity with the normal cementum.
