Abstract

Benign cementoblastoma is a rare odontogenic tumour derived from odontogenic ectomesenchyme of cementoblast origin that forms cementum layer on the roots of a tooth. Benign cementoblastomas have a distinct clinical and radiographic appearance. It is important to consider them as one among the differential diagnosis in bony swellings of mandible. A case report of a 55 yr old female patient diagnosed as a case of benign cementoblastoma is presented.
