Background: The benign cementoblastoma is an odontogenic tumor originated from neoplastic cementoblasts, a rare lesion mainly associated to impacted and deciduous teeth. It affects mostly young people with an average age of 20 years old, and its preferred location is in the posterior region of the mandible; the lesion will present itself fused both radiologically and microscopically to a root of an erupted permanent tooth, and the anatomopathological diagnosis is obtained through the analysis of the piece sent together with the involved dental element.

Case Report: The present study presents a case of cementoblastoma in the mandible involving the second deciduous molar tooth and preventing the eruption of the premolar tooth in a girl aged 11 years old.

Discussion: This report discusses relevant aspects concerning clinical, radiographic, and histopathological characteristics and treatments.

Cementoblastoma is a benign odontogenic mesenchymal tumor characterized by cementum production. Cementoblastoma is considered a relatively rare neoplasm with a predilection to the posterior region of the mandible. The main clinical differential diagnoses include hypercementosis, cemento-osseous dysplasia, condensing osteitis, idiopathic osteosclerosis, osteoblastoma, odontoma, and osteosarcoma.

Article Synopsis
  • - This systematic review analyzed published data on synchronous cemento-ossifying fibromas (COF), including their demographic and clinical features, utilizing various databases and following PRISMA guidelines.
  • - A total of 19 studies with 20 COF cases were examined, revealing a mean patient age of 35 years, a predominance of female patients (60%), and simultaneous involvement of the mandible and maxilla in 65% of cases.
  • - Management typically involved surgical procedures, with a recurrence rate noted in 15% of cases that had follow-ups, and the findings suggest that synchronous COF is rare, especially affecting women in their 30s.

Introduction: The Cementoblastoma is a benign ectomesenchymal odontogenic neoplasm of the jaw, arising from an exuberant production of cemental tissue continuous with the roots of teeth (usually mandibular posteriors), resulting in a calcified mass adherent with the root apices.

Case Presentation: A curious case of a large Cementoblastoma, the size and shape of a ping pong ball, is presented, the first of its kind ever reported to involve the internal / medial / lingual aspect of the mandible, and presenting with unusual and deviant features.

Discussion & Conclusion: The Cementoblastoma is usually associated with certain inherent and pathognomonic features, making it rather straightforward to identify and diagnose.
