Familial florid cemento-osseous dysplasia: A case report

Abstract

The classification of cemento-osseous lesions of the jaws has long been a matter of discussion for pathologists and clinicians. A review of the literature shows a wide range of terminology used by authors to describe what seem to be similar lesions. 1 Norberg OJ Zur kenntnis der dysontogenetischen geschwulste der kieferknochen.
