Cementoblastoma is defined as a neoplasm characterized by formation of sheets of cementum like tissue containing a large number of reversal lines and lack of mineralization at the periphery of the mass or in the more active growth area. Locally aggressive resulting in bony expansion, root resorption, displacement of adjacent teeth, and jaw deformity.
It represents nearly 70% of whole odontogenic
tumors.
Complex odontomais more commonly
occurred in posterior mandible than maxilla,
as asymptomatic swelling.
Compound odontomais more commonly
occurs in anterior maxilla than in mandible and
as a symptomatic swelling either over the
crowns of uneruptedteeth or between the roots
of erupted one.
