Abstract
Abstract Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is an uncommon fibro-osseous lesion that can affect the jaws. It involves the deposition of dense, acellular amorphous bone on a foundation of fibrous connective tissue, replacing normal cancellous bone. This condition often affects middle-aged women, with a mean age of 42. The lesion’s epicenter is at the teeth apices and typically appears posterior to the canines. We present two cases of female patients, aged 49 and 26, who were both initially misdiagnosed with periapical infection and underwent root canal treatments while the lesions remained. Both patients visited our clinic. After careful history taking and clinical and radiographic examination, FCOD was diagnosed, and both patients were treated conservatively.
