“…51 Clinically, this condition presents pain and is also associated with swelling of the buccal and lingual aspects of the alveolar ridges. Although vitality tests may indicate that the affected tooth is vital, it could present pain to percussion 52 . Cementoblastoma radiographically presents as a round demarcated radiopaque mass surrounded by a thin radiolucent rim connected to a tooth (Figure 3, F-G).…”

Differential diagnosis and clinical management of periapical radiopaque/hyperdense jaw lesions

Great attention has been given to the study of radiolucent periapical lesions to avert possible misdiagnosis of apical periodontitis associated with certain radiolucent non-endodontic lesions. However, there are a significant number of radiopaque lesions found in the periapical region, which could be equally relevant to endodontic practice. The diagnosis and management of these radiopaque/hyperdense lesions could be challenging to the endodontist. These bone alterations could be neoplastic, dysplastic or of metabolic origin. In the context of the more widespread use of cone-beam CT, a detailed review of radiopaque inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions is timely and may aid clinicians perform a differential diagnosis of these lesions. Distinguishing between inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions simplifies diagnosis and consequently aids in choosing the correct therapeutic regimen. This review discusses the literature regarding the clinical, radiographic, histological and management aspects of radiopaque/hyperdense lesions, and illustrates the differential diagnoses of these lesions.

“…Radiographically the tumor has adhered to the tooth and appears as a dense radiopaque mass well circumscribed surrounded by a thin uniform radiolucent halo, and the root outline is usually unseen. It is worthwhile making the differential diagnosis of odontoma, osteoblastoma, hypercementosis and focal sclerosing osteitis 19 . Given this context, the radiopaque radiographic finding, the clinical characteristics at the time of examination (noting the absence of signs and symptoms), the prognosis of the injury, and even if the newcomer's duties comprised in the public office were not about oral or physical effort or planned exposure to any agent of risk, the dental expert opted to classify the candidate as being capable, believing that the labor ability of the examinee at the time of examination was not hampered by the lesion.…”

The aim of this paper is to describe an efficient clinical protocol used in admittance dental examinations, highlighting the importance of this evaluation in the diagnosis of oral pathologies. Two admission case reports in which gingival abscess and radiopaque apical lesion were found during the examination are presented for illustration purposes. A clinical examination in the admission inspection is the main factor for a good selection of treatment and prevention of future difficulties. The admission dental examination by means of a standardized clinical approach including clinical interview, physical examination and complementary exams, avoids the person to be admitted to the public service while having some pathology that might compromises his/her capacity of handling the selected function, preventing absenteeism for dental reasons and consequently a cost to the state and functional repercussion to the server.

“…The cementoblastoma is considered to be a rare benign neoplasm of odontogenic mesenchymal origin [1], characterized by the formation of cementum-like tissue contiguous to the root of a tooth [2,3,4]. This tumor manifests as a bulbous growth surrounding and attached to the apex of a tooth root [5].…”

“…The majority of cementoblastomas are located in the mandible, most commonly in the molar region [1,2,4,5,6,7]. There is no gender predisposition [2,6,7,8], and the age of occurrence ranges from 8 to 44 years [2], with the highest incidence in the second and third decades of life [2,4,6,7,8,9].…”

Cementoblastoma is characterized by the formation of cementum-like tissue attached to the root of a tooth. It is a benign neoplasm with odontogenic mesenchymal origin, and is considered the only true neoplasm of cemental origin. Cementoblastomas are usually located in the mandible, the majority of which affect the permanent first molar. There is no distinct gender preference and the mean age of occurrence is approximately 20 years of age. The lesion is usually identified as well defined, radiopaque, delimited by a cortical border, and with a well-defined radiolucent band just inside this cortical border. Root resorption and loss of the root outline are commonly associated with the cementoblastoma. The only treatment is enucleation of the lesion with removal of the associated tooth. Here, we present an unusual cementoblastoma case in a 52-year-old woman Case Study
