Summary

A study was made of a series of 104 cases with cementoma. This investigation of cementoma revealed the following features:

  1. 1.

    In 73% of periapical cemental dysplasia and benign cementoblastoma, and 80% of cementifying fibroma occurred in female.

  2. 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. 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. 4.

    There were no cases complaining of the associated clinical signs and subjective symptoms in the periapical cemental dysplasia, however the patients complained of a pain in 36 % of benign cementoblastoma and 40 % of cementifying fibroma.

  5. 5.

    There were no cases expanding the cortical plates in the periapical cemental dysplasia, however 73 % of benign cementoblastoma and all of the 5 cases of cementifying fibroma showed the expansion of cortical plates.

  6. 6.

    Several radiographic features of the periapical cemental dysplasia were shown as follows:

    1. a.

      29 % of the cases had multiple lesions.

    2. b.

      53 % of the cases were in the mature stage.

    3. c.

      During the osteolytic stage, the alveolar lamina dura was lost in 89 % of the cases.
