Abstract
Hypercementosis is an idiopathic nonneoplastic condition causing excessive deposition of normal cementum on the surface of roots of one or more teeth It occurs due to a variety of local and systemic factors but often goes undiagnosed because of a lack of clinical signs and symptoms and can only be diagnosed radiographically Generalized hypercementosis is a rare occurrence with a very few cases reported in literature It holds clinical significance with respect to extractions endodontic treatment as well as orthodontic movement of the teeth which is much more complex for teeth with hypercementosis teeth in comparison with teeth without hypercementosis This article is a report of such a rare case of generalized hypercementosis which was incidentally diagnosed based on radiographic examinationKeywords Hypercementosis Cementum hyperplasia Cementum
