Cementoma

Cementomas are tumor neoplasms that contain bone cells. Cementomas mainly affect the lower jaw. The peculiarity of cemontoma is the ability to grow deep into the bone and disrupt its integrity, often causing jaw fractures. Cementomas can occur in people of all ages. Among them there are also newborns with congenital osteosarcoma. However, cementoma is most common in the adult population. Among the population at risk of developing cementoma, one should highlight a person with traumatic bone damage in the lower jaw, as well as people who suffer from osteomyelitis (an inflammatory process in the bone).

Your cheek or eye may also become puffy, and your facial muscles may become less mobile. When examining such a tumor, you can notice its heterogeneous structure. There may be a feeling that the cementoma is penetrating some part of the bone. This formation is quite dense and lumpy in appearance. Since cementoma is musculoskeletal tissue-dependent, the ability to stop the pathological process depends on how affected the bone structures are. Treatment with cement for any of its formations is possible only surgically. An operation is performed to remove the formation and restore damaged bone structures. It must be said that it is not always possible to radically cure such a disease and improve health. In many cases, it is necessary to carry out complex and rather lengthy therapy, which is aimed at eliminating negative
