Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides images without overlapping anatomical structures, which is important for the diagnosis and assessment of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia. This fibro-osseous lesion that affects alveolar process compromising teeth’ pulp vitality usually asymptomatic, bone expansion, cortical disruption, root resorption are uncommon. Due to its avascular characterist...

This case report demonstrates an unnecessary endodontic treatment of teeth with florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) due to a misdiagnosis as periapical pathosis and emphasizes the importance of correct diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatment. A 30-year-old woman was referred to our institution for apicoectomies of the mandibular left canine and both the lateral incisors. The periapical les...

Differential diagnosis of orofacial pain is crucial, as the course of each process and its clinical management varies markedly. A case is illustrated here of trigeminal neuralgia in a 49-year-old Indian female whose complaint was initially diagnosed as dental pain leading to sequential extractions of her right mandibular and maxillary molars but with no pain abatement. Subsequent neurological a...

Florid cemento osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is a rare, benign lesion affecting both the jaws. It is found more commonly in middle aged black females and also in Caucasians and Asians. It is characterized by substitution of bone with cement-osseous tissue. Generally asymptomatic, FCOD is typically an incidental finding in routine radiographs. Radiographic features depend on the developmental stage o...

Cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is a disease characterized by the replacement of normal bone with fibrous tissue and metaplastic bone, and occurs in the tooth-bearing areas of the jaws. It is usually asymptomatic and often found incidentally on radiographs. Herein, we report a rare case in which florid COD (FLCOD) and focal COD (FOCOD), two different forms of COD, coexisted in the maxilla of a ...

In this review, we examined a 45-year-old Asian man who had been diagnosed with florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) of the mandible and acute perimandibular cellulitis. This presentation occurred after a history of off-and-on swellings of the jaw and multiple treatments received at another hospital. An aggressive resection of the jaw was planned; however, the patient denied the treatment and came to...

Florid osseous dysplasia (FOD) is an uncommon, benign, cemento-osseous lesion of the jaws. The etiology of FOD is still unknown. It is often asymptomatic and may be identified on routine dental radiographs. The classic radiographic appearance of FOD is amorphous, lobulated, mixed radiolucent/radiopaque masses of cotton-wool appearance with a sclerotic border in the jaws. In our case the lesion ...
