Cementoblastoma associated with a primary tooth: a rare pediatric lesion

Pediatr Dent. 2001 Jul-Aug;23(4):351-3.

Abstract

An intraosseous, slightly painful swelling was noted upon clinical examination of an eight-year-old girl. The swelling was of an unspecified duration and slow growing in nature. A radiopaque mass with a radiolucent periphery attached to the roots of the mandibular right second primary molar was noted on a periapical radiograph. The diagnosis of cementoblastoma was verified by the histologic assessment.
