Increased deposition of cementum is observed in a wide number of both benign and malignant conditions. Many cases are often diagnosed during routine examination as an incidental finding. Diagnosing correctly without confusing it with other similarly appearing lesions, thus avoiding subjecting the patient to unnecessary investigations and stress, is of prime importance. We report one such case, where the patient presented with the routine complaint of a painful tooth, during the investigation of which he was also diagnosed with hypercementosis affecting the mandibular second premolars and molars bilaterally. The literature review reveals that not many cases of hypercementosis are frequently reported.
在许多良性和恶性疾病中均观察到牙骨质沉积增加。许多病例常在常规检查中被偶然发现。正确诊断而不将其与其他外观相似的病变混淆,从而避免让患者接受不必要的检查和压力,至关重要。我们报告这样一例病例,患者因牙齿疼痛这一常规主诉前来就诊,在检查过程中还被诊断为双侧下颌第二前磨牙和磨牙牙骨质增生。文献综述显示,牙骨质增生的病例报道并不多见。
