Hypercementosis is an idiopathic, non-neoplastic condition characterized by the excessive buildup of normal cementum (calcified tissue) on the roots of one or more teeth. [1] A thicker layer of cementum can give the tooth an enlarged appearance, mainly occurring at the apex or …

Hypercementosis is a nonneoplastic deposition of excessive cementum. Most frequently, there is a uniform deposition with a drumstick-like thickening of the apical third of the root. Less commonly and less well known are small focal knots or projections of excess cementum on the lateral or interradicular root surfaces. Diffuse hypercementosis ...

2022年6月2日 · Hypercementosis is a benign condition that does not cause symptoms. It has many implications for dental functions and health. The implications are as follows: - Hypercementosis can cause the affected tooth to be enlarged and bulbous. It may be a cosmetic problem if the tooth is visible during speaking and smiling.

Hypercementosis can complicate root canal treatments. The thickened cementum can obstruct access to the root canal system, making it difficult for endodontists to perform necessary procedures. Differential Diagnosis. It is essential to differentiate hypercementosis from other conditions with similar radiographic features, such as condensing ...

Hypercementosis is overproduction or increased proliferation of cementum on the tooth root (Figure 47). This can result in mild to marked misshaping of the tooth root with a bulbous-like or lobular appearance. 9, 10 The excess cementum will appear slightly less radiopaque than the dentin with the lamina dura and periodontal ligament space evident around the excess …

2016年1月1日 · Hypercementosis refers to excessive secondary cementum deposition around the root or roots of one or more teeth. The causes of hypercementosis include over-eruption of a tooth, inflammation associated with a tooth, tooth repair, and Paget’s disease of bone, but the cause is often best categorized as idiopathic.

The hypercementosis characterisation may contribute to document the oral condition and/or the individuals masticatory activity. This systematic review demonstrates that hypercementosis is a complex and not yet well-defined condition. Some forms of apposition are specific to a given aetiology. The hypercementosis characterisation may contribute ...

2023年2月1日 · Hypercementosis is a compensatory phenomenon in different conditions, which can be a witness of masticatory or non-masticatory activity and oral health. The tooth and its periodontium evolve during the life of an individual and may encounter several aetiological factors that may result in unclassifiable patterns. A quantitative study could ...

hypercementosis (note the bulbous, irregular shape of the maxillary premolar) hypercementosis (note the bulbous root of the maxillary left second premolar – #13) hypercementosis (maxillary right canine – #6) hypercementosis (distal root of the mandibular left first molar – #19)

Hypercementosis is an abnormal thickening of cementum which may be generalized or localized. Localized hypercementosis is usually characterized by nodular enlargement of apical third of root. Hypercementosis in the form of multiple cemental spikes distributed throughout the entire length of root is a very rare finding.
