NEVES, Frederico Sampaio et al. Benign cementoblastoma: a case report. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2010, vol.10, n.2, pp. 31-34. ISSN 1808-5210.

Benign cementoblastoma is a relatively rare odontogenic neoplasm characterized by the formation of a mass of cementum-like tissue, connected to the root of the tooth. Radiographically, it is attached to the apical or lateral root and presents as a well-defined, dense radiopaque mass, surrounded by a thin and uniform radiolucent halo. In this article, the clinical, radiographic and therapeutic features of a case of benign cementoblastoma are presented.
