Abstract
The term cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) refers to a bony fibro-osseous lesion, in which fibrous tissue and cementum-like tissue replace normal bone. There are three types of COD: periapical, focal and florid. The condition is usually asymptomatic and treatment is unnecessary; however, a secondary infection could occur, which requires treatment. A 58-year-old female patient presented with symptoms in the mandibular posterior region of the right jaw for six months. Infected florid COD (FCOD). A pre-operative antibiotic, followed by extraction of non-restorable teeth, debridement of the infected tissue and necrotic bone removal. The patient was followed for one year, during which all previously reported signs and symptoms were resolved. Early lesion detection is essential. Treatment depends on the presence or absence of clinical and radiographic manifestations. The current case was treated surgically to minimise complications.
