This case report details a rare instance of generalized hypercementosis in a new dental patient, potentially linked to oral neglect. It highlights the importance of recognizing diverse causes of hypercementosis for accurate diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Pathology

Background:

  • Hypercementosis is a condition characterized by excessive cementum deposition on tooth roots.
  • Etiological factors for hypercementosis can be local or systemic, requiring careful clinical evaluation.

Observation:

  • A new female patient presented with generalized hypercementosis.
  • The condition was possibly associated with a history of oral neglect.

Findings:

  • The case illustrates an uncommon clinical and radiographic presentation of generalized hypercementosis.
  • Radiographic differentiation was key in diagnosing the condition and distinguishing potential causes.

Implications:

  • General dental practitioners must be aware of the varied etiological factors of hypercementosis.
