Benign cementoblastoma: Report of an unusual case and analysis of 14 additional cases

Cementoblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor produced by neoplastic cementoblasts. The tumor is intimately associated with the roots of teeth which are usually located in the posterior mandible. The clinical and radiographic features may be varied, causing difficulties in definitive diagnosis and patient management. The purpose of this report is to describe an unusual case of cementoblastoma in which the initial presentation was misleading and resulted in inadequate treatment. (DBO)
