Conservative treatment of a periapical cementoblastoma: a case report

Cementoblastoma is a rare, benign odontogenic neoplasm of ectomesenchymal origin, accounting for less than 6% of all odontogenic tumors. Although the tumor characteristics are well-known, the standard practice to treat this lesion is surgical excision along with the extraction of the affected tooth, with few reported cases using a tooth-conservative treatment approach. This report presents the case of a 33-year-old cementoblastoma-affected woman who underwent conservative treatment to preserve her tooth in the oral cavity.
