Radiographic features

OPG / CB (cone beam) CT

A wide spectrum of radiographic appearances has been described in previous reports.

• early-stage lesions: commonly present as periapical radiolucent defects that subsequently developed minute radiopacities
• later stage lesions: minute radiopacities tend to enlarge, coalesce, and undergo further substantial radiopacification; the radiopacities could consist of dense, cementum-like structures and/or areas with a ground-glass appearance with surrounding radiolucent peripheries
