Which RADIOPAQUE lesion is directly ATTACHED to/associated with a tooth root?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Cementoblastoma
- A. Correct. A cementoblastoma is a radiopaque mass fused to the root (often with a radiolucent rim) — a true neoplasm of cementum attached to the tooth.
- B. Incorrect. Cemento-osseous dysplasia occurs around apices/edentulous areas but is a dysplastic process, not a mass fused to and arising from the root like a cementoblastoma.
