Abstract

Cementoblastoma is a rare odontogenic tumor. This lesion is mesenchymal in origin. It tends to act as a benign condition. It will lead to a destructive lesion if untreated. It usually occurs as the apex of the teeth leading to resorption of mandible as it expands. The treatment of the lesion has traditionally been enucleation with extraction of affected teeth. In case of very large lesions, resections have been shown to be treatment of choice. In this case, we will show an alternative approach to large expansile cementoblastomas. The use of partial resection with cryotherapy may be another option to consider in select patients to avoid significant morbidity associated with resections.
