Abstract
Background: Cementoblastoma is a rare odontogenic neoplasm characterized by the proliferation of cellular cementum around the roots of teeth. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of this condition.
Objective: This article presents a case report of a 15-year-old male patient with cementoblastoma, initially misdiagnosed as an infectious process.
Methods: The clinical, radiographic, and histological features of cementoblastoma are described in detail, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive evaluation. The case highlights the typical presentation of cementoblastoma, including tender swelling and radiographic findings of a well-defined radiopaque mass attached to the tooth root. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis, revealing the characteristic features of cementoblastoma. Surgical excision and extraction of the associated tooth were performed, leading to successful resolution of the lesion.
Results: The article emphasizes the significance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, as well as the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in managing cementoblastoma.
Conclusion: By enhancing our understanding of this rare odontogenic neoplasm, this case report contributes to the existing literature and promotes improved patient care.
Keywords: Cementum, cementoblastoma, molar, radiopaque
