Abstract
Cementoma or cementoblastoma is a rare occurrence lesion, which can occur both in the mandible and in the maxilla. It affects children and young adults, with the area most affected by the premolars and molars. The diagnosis is differentiated with osteoblastoma, odontoma, condensing osteitis, cement-ossolifying fibroma, periapical cement dysplasia and hypercementosis. The histopathological aspect is of a mineralized mass similar to the cementum associated with a fibrovascularized stroma, interposed by cementoblasts. This article aimed to report a clinical case of symptomatic and infected benign cementoblastoma, located in the region of the mandibular symphysis in a 65-year-old female patient, whose treatment underwent excision under local anesthesia, with healing promoted by second intention due to the infectious process installed The treatment undertaken culminated in the cure of the pathological process.
