Familial Occurrence of Periapical Cemental Dysplasia
Overview

A family with periapical cemental dysplasia is reported. The affected individuals displayed classical features of periapical cemental dysplasia on radiographic examination. The lesions consisted chiefly of radiolucent areas; however, some had central areas of radiodensity. Histopathological examination of one of the lesions revealed fibrous elements containing fused dense sclerotic cemental masses. Familial incidence of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia with an autosomal mode of inheritance has been reported previously. The condition described in this report appears to be different. However, the two conditions may be part of a spectrum occurring in a single genetic entity with the diversity possibly resulting from variable expressivity of a single gene.
