Abstract :
Cementoblastomas are rare benign odontogenic tumors.
Diagnosis of these lesions must be made by an association
of clinical, radiographic, and histopathological findings.
Cementoblastomas rarely occur in both primary and permanent
dentitions. We describe the sixth case of cementoblastoma in
the literature with the involvement of both deciduous and
permanent teeth. The aim of this case report is to present the
clinicoradiopathologic features of a cementoblastoma in a
4.5-year-old boy with an unusual recurrence. The first clinical
and radiographic features appeared on the deciduous mandibular
second molar. The second lesion occurred 1 year after treatment
at 5.5 years old, involving the permanent mandibular first molar,
and a subsequent lesion was seen at age 8 years in the edentulous
region of the extracted mandibular first molar. After the last
surgery, there was no recurrence of the lesion at 6 months’
follow-up. Follow-ups of patients with cementoblastomas are
highly recommended for an early detection of recurrences.
