Abstract

Benign Cementoblastoma is a rare tumor of Odontogenic ectomesenchyme origin characterized by proliferation of cementum- like tissue. The neoplasm is closely related to and partly surrounds the roots of teeth. In most cases, this lesion is asymptomatic and was considered as an indolent lesion for several years. Nevertheless, recent studies have demonstrated that some cementoblastoma may exhibit an aggressive biological behavior and can affect several teeth. An unusual case of benign cementoblastoma that was clinically extensive, involving multiple deciduous and permanent teeth is presented. This report also corroborates with some papers that have demonstrated the aggressive behavior of cementoblastomas.
