Questions and Answers

What is the main characteristic of periapical cemental dysplasia?

  • It primarily affects the maxillary molar region.
  • It is a type of neoplastic growth.
  • It leads to the death of related teeth.
  • It is a developmental dysplasia of cementum. (correct)
  • In which demographic is periapical cemental dysplasia most commonly observed?

  • Both males and females equally.
  • Males aged 30 to 40 years.
  • Children aged 10 to 20 years.
  • Females aged 40 to 50 years. (correct)
  • What is observed in the early stage of periapical cemental dysplasia on an X-ray?

  • Complete radiopacity with no surrounding lucency.
  • Localized bone destruction with no vitality in the teeth.
  • Ill-defined radiolucent area near tooth apices. (correct)
  • Well-defined radiopacity with a dense appearance.

    Study Notes

    Periapical Cemantal Dysplasia

    • A non-neoplastic developmental condition affecting cementum.
    • Primarily affects the mandibular incisor region, often involving multiple teeth.
    • Impacted teeth remain clinically vital.
    • Predominantly affects females aged 40-50.

    Radiographic Features

    • Early Lesion (Osteolytic Stage): Radiolucent (dark) area poorly defined, near tooth apices.
    • Later Lesion (Cementoblastic Stage): Radiopaque (light) masses appear on X-ray.
    • Mature Stage: Distinct radiopacity, surrounded by a radiolucent band, indicates extensive calcification.

    Histological Characteristics

    • Combination of rounded cement-like structures ("cementicles") and woven bone.
