Early lesions of periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia are well circumscribed and radiolucent which may resemble a periapical abscess. The benign cementoblastoma is a well-defined radiopaque mass in continuity with the root of the affected tooth. The odontoma is an odontogenic tumor composed of enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp. It appears as a cluster of miniature teeth, or, a radiopaque mass. The osteoma is a benign tumor of normal compact bone, which also has a radiopaque component.
