The true cementoma (attached cementoma) is an unusual benign jaw neoplasm fused to the root of the involved tooth. The authors have treated a true cementoma occurs at the right mandibular first molar. The 26 years old male patient who has complained of sweeling and discomfort of the involved tooth. The radiograph showed that the tumor represents a dense radiopacity bordered by a well demarcated peripheral radiolucent zone. Treatment was performed by extraction of the involved tooth with complete enucleation of the tumor. So the operation was done without any complications.

Familial gigantiform cementoma is a rare fibre-cemento-osseous disease of the jaws which appears to be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expressivity of the phenotype. A 7-year-old girl visited DKUDH complaining of the painless facial deformity. Clinically, significant facio-lingual expansion was observed at the left maxilla, left mandibular body and symphysis portion. Malposition of lower anterior teeth was found. Panoramic radiograph and CT scan showed the extensive expansile mixed lesion at maxilla and mandible. Bone scan revealed hot spot at the maxilla and left side of mandible. Histologic examination revealed moderately dense fibrous connective tissue with scattered masses resembling cementum. The patient's mother had a history of the mandibular resection due to benign tumor. Her younger brother had buccal expansion of right mandible. We report our finding of a family that has exhibited clinical, radiographic and histologic findings consistent with the familial gigantiform cementoma.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder of connective tissue, while familial gigantiform cementoma is a condition that usually manifests as multiple radiopaque cementum-like masses throughout the jaws. This case report discusses the oral management and prosthetic rehabilitation of two patients presenting familial gigantiform cementoma with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

This study was undertaken to document and better define this condition to help clarify this clinical and radiographic appearances by the analysis of clinical and radiographic features of cementoma. A study was made of a series of 104 cases with cementoma. This investigation of cementoma revealed the following features: 1. The female occurred in 73% of periapical cemental dysplasia and benign cementoblastoma, and 80% of cementifying fibroma. 2. 40% of periapical cemental dysplasia occurred in the fifth decades, and 73% of benign cementoblastoma during the second and third decades, while there was no age predilection in the cementifying fibroma. 3. 63% of periapical cemental dysplasia occurred in the mandibular anterior region. 91% of benign cementoblastoma and 80% of cementifying fibroma occurred in the mandibular premolar and/or molar region. 4. There were no cases complaining the associated clinical signs and subjective symptoms in the periapical cemental dysplasia, however the patient complained the pain in 36% of benign cementoblastoma and 40% of cementifying fibroma. 5. There were no cases expanding the cortical plates in the periapical cemental dysplasia, however 73% of benign cementoblastoma and all of 5 cases of cementifying fibroma showed the expansion of cortical plates. 6. Several radiographic features of the periapical cemental dysplasia were shown: a. 29% of the cases had multiple lesions. b. 53% of the cases were in the mature stage. c. During the osteolytic stage, the alveolar lamina dura was lost in 89% of the cases.

The cementomas are derived from the periodontal ligament and a diversified group of nonrelated lesions producing cementum-like material. The diagnostic term, Cementoma, has encompassed several unrelated lesions : periapical cemental dysplasia, benign (true) cementoblastoma, cementifying fibroma and familial multifle (gigantiform) cementoma. The authors treated one case of benign cementoblastoma & the other of cementifying fibroma by conservative enucleation & curettage. By follow up check of the patient, We obtained of good result without any signs of recurrence of the lesions.

Total six cases of can cementoma encountered during the period of 1960 to July, 1974 at the department of oral pathology, college of dentistry, Seoul National University were clinically and histpathologically. As the result of present study the following conclusions were obtained. 1. The total six cases of cementoma consisted of four cases (67%) of male and two cases (33%) of female. The ratio between male are female was 1:2. 2. Three of 6 cases occurred in the decade and the mean age was 43.5 years. 3. All six cases occurred in the mandible and the favorite site was the molar region rather than anterior portion. The involvement of multiple teeth was the characteristic feature of the lesion. 4. The swelling of the jaw bone was the main symptom in all cases. 5. By the histopathological classification of cementomas all cases were involved n intermediate or mature inactive stage.

Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia (PCOD) is a subtype of cemento-osseous dysplasia that usually occurs in middle-aged black women. This report described a case of a 45-year-old Iranian woman who was diagnosed with PCOD on the basis of cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) findings. CBCT enabled detailed visualization of the bone changes. This report described the special radiographic characteristics of PCOD, including discontinuity of the lingual cortex on the CBCT sectional and three-dimensional images.

Cemento-osseous dysplasias are a group of disorders known to originate from periodontal ligament tissue and involve, essentially, the same pathological process. They are usually classified into three main groups: periapical, florid, and focal cemental dysplasias depending on their extent and radiographic appearances. Radiographically, florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) appears as dense, lobulated masses, often symmetrically located in various regions of the jaws. The best management for the asymptomatic FCOD patient consists of regular recall examinations with prophylaxis. The management of the symptomatic patient is more difficult. A case of FCOD occurring in a 52-year-old edentulous Korean female is reported which is rare with regard to race and sex.
