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.
