Abstract

FRIGIDI, Guillermo Ariel  and  GOTTA, Sergio Luis. Cementoblastoma associated with a first permanent molar. A case report. Rev. Asoc. Odontol. Argent. [online]. 2023, vol.111, n.1, pp.5-5. ISSN 2683-7226.  http://dx.doi.org/10.52979/raoa.1110432.1209.

Aim: Cementoblastoma is a relatively infrequent benign odontogenic neoplasia of mesenchymal origin that is associated with the roots of teeth. It is considered to be the only true cemental originated neoplasm. The objective of this article is to describe the clinical case of a large cementoblastoma and to carry out a bibliographical review to establish diagnostic and treatment guidelines, pointing out its differences with pathologies of similar characteristics, such as the cemento-osseous dysplasia and the cemento-ossifying fibroma.

Clinical case: The case of a pediatric patient who presents a considerable increase in the volume associated with the mandibular first permanent molar is described. Considering the clinical and radiographic characteristics, and with a presumptive diagnosis of cementoblastoma, a surgical extraction of the lesion along with the associated tooth was performed, confirming the initial diagnosis by an anatomopathological study.

Keywords : Cementoma; odontogenic tumors; oral pathology; pediatric dentistry.
