    Hypercementosis is an idiopathic, non-neoplastic condition characterized by the excessive buildup of normal cementum (calcified tissue) on the roots of one or more teeth.[1] A thick layer of cementum can give the tooth a fat appearance.[2] It may be one of complications of Paget’s disease of bone It is experienced as an uncomfortable sensation in the tooth, followed by an aching pain.[3]

    When an antagonist tooth is missing or a tooth is severely attrited,, as a response to try and achieve occlusion, there is cementum deposition at root apices in order to achieve tooth-to-tooth contact….called passive eruption

    Hypercementosis may occur not at the infmammed apex but at an area slightly above or adjacent to the affected root part,,,since the inflammoatory process is a stimulant for the cementoblasts that have not been destroyed byt the infection
