Florid cement-osseous dysplasia of maxilla and mandible: a rare clinical case
More, Chandramani B.; Shirolkar, Rajan; Adalja, Chhaya & Tailor, Mansi N
Abstract
Cemento-osseous dysplasia is a group of disorders known to originate from periodontal ligament
tissues. Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia clearly appears to be a form of bone and/or cementoid
tissues restricted to jaw bones. This lesion is usually asymptomatic and is incidentally detected
during routine radiographic examination. The diagnosis is made by clinical and radiographic
examinations, and biopsy is not necessary. The patient must manifest the typical changes in at
least two quadrants. An asymptomatic individual requires only a periodic follow-up to ensure that
there is no change in the disease behavior. Surgical management is indicated only for a progressive
lesion that produces orofacial disfigurement. This paper presents a rare case of a 60-year-old
female who was clinically and radiographically diagnosed as having florid cemento-osseous
dysplasia in the maxilla and mandible. Discussion is presented with emphasis on clinical and
radiographic manifestations.
