Core Tip

Core tip: The present clinical case demonstrated that surgical treatment associated with endodontic treatment was effective for the treatment of cementoblastoma. However, the patient must be followed-up due to the possibility of recurrence of this lesion. The importance of these findings demonstrated that the treatment of cementoblastoma may be conservative with maintenance of the affected teeth.
