Benign cementoblastoma: review of the literature and report of a case at an unusual location.
Benign cementoblastoma is a rare odontogenic tumour localized in the jaws of young people. Benign cementoblastoma has characteristic radiologic and microscopic features and it appears to be fused to the tooth roots. The most important differential diagnosis is-with a benign osteoblastoma. The tumor should be enucleated and the teeth extracted. This case represents only the third reported case of a benign cementoblastoma associated with a third molar.
