Florid Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia-Report of Rare Case

Abstract

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is a rare disease of jaws which is characterized by replacement of bone and connective tissue by cemento-osseous tissue. They are mostly found in middle-aged individuals. They are generally found in tooth-bearing region involving two or more quadrants. Radiographically, these lesions appear as multiple sclerotic masses confined within the alveolar bone. Herein we present a rare case of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia involving maxilla and mandible.
