Cementoma (Cementoma)

Cementoma is a benign tumor of the cementum of the tooth. It is a nodule or tumor that forms as a result of excessive formation of cement inside the root canal of a tooth. Cementoma can occur on any tooth, but it most often occurs on molars and premolars.

Cementoma usually does not cause pain or cause symptoms, so it is often discovered incidentally during an x-ray examination. However, in some cases it can cause discomfort or pain when chewing.

When diagnosing cementoma, X-rays and computed tomography are used. Treatment of cementoma can be conservative or surgical, depending on its size and location. In some cases, the cementoma can be removed surgically, resulting in a complete cure. However, if the cementoma is small and there are no symptoms, regular observations and control x-rays may be prescribed.

Although cementoma is a benign tumor, it must be diagnosed and treated promptly to prevent possible complications such as infection or tooth decay. Therefore, if you notice any changes in your teeth or experience discomfort when chewing, be sure to contact your dentist for diagnosis and treatment.

Cementomas are a relatively rare disease, which is characterized by the formation of benign tumors from the cementum of the tooth root. These tumors can be found in both young and old people. Dental cement is the hardest tissue in the body, and its destruction can lead to serious consequences for the patient's health.

Cementoma can develop as a result of tooth trauma or after root canal treatment. It may be discovered accidentally during a dental examination or during an x-ray.

The first symptom of cementoma may be a feeling of discomfort in the tooth area, which is accompanied by pain. As the disease progresses, pain when chewing and bad breath may occur.

X-rays and computed tomography are used to diagnose cementoma. Treatment for cementoma depends on its size and location. In some cases, tooth extraction or tumor removal may be necessary.

With timely detection and proper treatment of cementoma, its symptoms can be eliminated without serious health consequences. However, if the disease is not treated, it can lead to tooth decay and other complications. Therefore, it is important to have regular dental checkups and monitor your dental health.
