This report describes 2 cases of cementoblastoma in patients with distinct ages, an adolescent, and elderly. A 17-year-old female presented with a painful swelling in the posterior mandible. Computed tomography revealed a hyperdense and well-delimited lesion, surrounded a hypodense halo, associated with the root of the right mandibular first molar. The second case refers to a 61-year-old female who presented with a painless lesion identified in a routine radiographic examination. The imaging features were similar to the first case. The lesion involved the root of the mandibular left first molar. Cementoblastoma was the clinic-radiographic diagnosis in both cases, which were excised with extractions of involved teeth. Macroscopically, masses of calcified tissue fused to the dental roots were observed. Microscopically, trabeculae of cementoid material adhered to the dental roots, cementoblasts, and cementocytes were noted, confirming the diagnosis of cementoblastoma. The patients remain without signs of recurrence after 8 months of treatment.
期刊介绍:
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology is required reading for anyone in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients, and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders. The official publication for nine societies, the Journal is recommended for initial purchase in the Brandon Hill study, Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library.
