['Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder with skeletal involvement. Periapical cemental dysplasia is a rare finding in the normal population.', 'A total of 55 patients with NF1, 29 female and 26 male patients, were evaluated with orthopantomograms, supplemented with periapical radiographs if necessary. The vitality of the teeth was measured by two different testing methods.', 'A novel finding was the occurrence of cemental dysplasia affecting the periapical area of vital mandibular teeth in 8 adult women with NF1. Thus, cemental dysplasia was detected in 34.8% of the adult female NF1 patients, while cemental dysplasia was not present in men or children with NF1.'] Is periapical cemental dysplasia common in women with NF1?
