The purpose of this study was to obtain information on the clinical and radiographic features of the fibro-osseous lesions in the jaws. For this study, the author examined and analysed the clinical records and radiographs of 71 cases of 68 patients in fibrous dysplasia, 35 cases of ossifying fibroma and 30 cases of 16 patients of periapical cemental dysplasia diagnosed by clinical and radiographic or histopathological examinations. The obtained results were as followings: L Fibrous dysplasia occurred most frequently in the 2nd decade (30.0％), ossifying fibroma in the 3rd-4th decades, periapical cemental dysplasia in the 4th decade, and all of three lesions showed slight predilection in females. In most cases, chief complaints were painless facial swelling in fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma, and periapical cemental dysplasia was found accidentally in radiographs. 2. Fibrous dysplasia was occurred more frequently in maxilla, ossifying fibroma in mandible and both lesions in premolar-molar area. Periapical cemental dysplasia was occurred most frequently in the mandibular anterior area. The size of fibrous dysplasia was larger than that of ossifying fibroma, and the shape of ossifying fibroma was more round and elliptical than fibrous dysplasia whose was fusiform. 3. Fibrous dysplasia was shown homogeneous radiopaque shadow of 57.6％ and ossifying fibroma & periapical cemental dysplasia were shown mixed appearance of radiolucency and radiopacity shadows at 74.2％, 60.0％, respectively. 4. Fibrous dysplasia was entirely shown poorly defined at 87.7％, but ossifying fibroma & periapical cemental dysplasia were shown well outlined at 60.0％, 70.0％, respectively. 5. Cortical thinning and expansion were observed in fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma, and severe in ossifying fibroma than fibrous dysplasia, and those signs were not seen in periapical cemental dysplasia. Loss of lamina dura was dominant in fibrous dysplasia and root resorption was dominant in ossifying fibroma. Displacement of mandibular canal and the degree of the increase of vertical dimension were alike in both lesions. Displacement of maxillary sinus or nasal cavity, thinning & expansion of the maxillary sinus were dominant in fibrous dysplasia. 6. Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia was occurred at 5.9％, Multiple periapical cemental dysplasia at 43.7％. Occurrence rate in the edentulous area of fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma were 7.0％, 8.6％, respectively.

This study was undertaken to document and better defined this condition to help clarify this clinical and radiographical appearances by the analysis of clinical and radiographical features of fibro-osseous lesions in the jaws. A study was made of a series of 128 cases with fibro-osseous lesions. The obtained results were as follows. 1. Fibrous dysplasia of the jaws occurred with equal predilection for males and females. But the females occurred in 68% of cemento-ossifying fibroma and 75% of periapical cemental dysplasia. 2. 43% of fibrous dysplasia and 32% of cemento-ossifying fibroma occurred in the 2nd decades and 33% of periapical cemental dysplasia in 5th decades. 3. 62% of fibrous dysplasia occurred in the maxilla, 73% of cemento-ossifying fibroma in mandible, 90% of periapical cemental dysplasia in mandible. 4. 98% of fibrous dysplasia occurred in premolar-molar region, 77% of cemento-ossifying fibroma in molar region, 68% of periapical cemental dysplasia in incisor region. 5. In serial radiographic features, mature stage were 55% of fibrous dysplasia, 45% of cemento-ossifying fibroma, 59% of periapical cemental dysplasia. 6. 87% of fibrous dysplasia had monostotic lesion, 67% of periapical cemental dysplasia had multiple lesions. 7. In fibrous dysplasia and cemento-ossifying fibroma, migration of tooth occurred in 61.7% and 36.4%, retention of tooth occurred in 4.3% and 9.1%, loss of lamina dura occurred in 6.4% and 9.1%, and root resorption had not occurred in fibrous dysplasia, but occurred in 18% of cemento-ossifying fibroma, displacement of mandibular canal occurred in 14.9% and 31.8%.

This study was undertaken to document and better define this condition to help clarify this clinical and radiographic appearances by the analysis of clinical and radiographic features of cementoma. A study was made of a series of 104 cases with cementoma. This investigation of cementoma revealed the following features: 1. The female occurred in 73% of periapical cemental dysplasia and benign cementoblastoma, and 80% of cementifying fibroma. 2. 40% of periapical cemental dysplasia occurred in the fifth decades, and 73% of benign cementoblastoma during the second and third decades, while there was no age predilection in the cementifying fibroma. 3. 63% of periapical cemental dysplasia occurred in the mandibular anterior region. 91% of benign cementoblastoma and 80% of cementifying fibroma occurred in the mandibular premolar and/or molar region. 4. There were no cases complaining the associated clinical signs and subjective symptoms in the periapical cemental dysplasia, however the patient complained the pain in 36% of benign cementoblastoma and 40% of cementifying fibroma. 5. There were no cases expanding the cortical plates in the periapical cemental dysplasia, however 73% of benign cementoblastoma and all of 5 cases of cementifying fibroma showed the expansion of cortical plates. 6. Several radiographic features of the periapical cemental dysplasia were shown: a. 29% of the cases had multiple lesions. b. 53% of the cases were in the mature stage. c. During the osteolytic stage, the alveolar lamina dura was lost in 89% of the cases.

Cemento-osseous dysplasia occurs in the tooth bearing areas of the jaws and is probably the most common fibro-osseous manifestation. They are usually classified into three main groups according to their extent and radiographic appearance: periapical (surrounds the periapical region of teeth and are bilateral), focal (single lesion) and florid (scleroticsymmetrical masses) cemental-osseous dysplasias. Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia clearly appears to be a form of bone and cemental dysplasia that is limited to the jaws. Patients do not have laboratory or radiologic evidence of bone disease in other parts of the skeleton. For asymptomatic patients, the best management consists of regular recall examinations with prophylaxis and the reinforcement of good home hygiene care to control periodontal disease and prevent tooth loss. The treatment of symptomatic patients is more difficult. At this stage, there is an inflammatory component caused by the disease and the process is basically a chronic osteomyelitis involving dysplastic bone and cementum. Antibiotics might be suggested, but are not always effective. Two cases of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia diagnosed in two Korean females are reported with a review of the relevant literature.

Cemento-osseous dysplasias are a group of disorders known to originate from periodontal ligament tissues and involve, essentially, the same pathological process. They are usually classified, depending on their extent and radiographic appearances, into three main groups. Periapical cemental dysplasia predominantly involves the periapical region of the anterior mandible. Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia presents with multifocal lesions in the tooth bearing or edentulous areas of the maxilla and mandible, often occurring bilaterally with symmetric involvement. Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia exhibits a single site of involvement in any tooth bearing or edentulous area of the mandible or maxilla, with the posterior mandible representing the most common site. We report the clinical, radiographic and histological findings of 3 types of cemento-osseous dysplasia with a review of literatures.

Periapical cemental dysplasia(PCD) is a condition most commonly seen in the mandibular incisor region. Radiographically it passes through the three phases(osteolytic stage, intermediate stage, and mature stage). At osteolytic stage, the lesion is similar to features associated with granuloma or cyst that arise following pulpal necrosis. So, it is important to confirm the vitality of the pulp to diagnosis. In this case, it is difficult to confirm the vitality of involved tooth because the tooth was covered with PFG bridge. And it is unusual that the PCD lesion at mandibular incisors has occurred at first and the lesion of mandibular canine and mandibular premolar were occurred afterward.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk factors and symptoms in cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) patients. Materials and Methods: In this study, 62 patients who were diagnosed histologically with COD were investigated from 2010 to 2020 at the author's institution. We compared clinical and radiological characteristics of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. The factors were sex, age, lesion size, site, radiologic stage of lesion, apical involvement, sign of infection, and history of tooth extraction. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher's exact test and the chi-square test. Results: COD was more prevalent in female patients. With the exception of three cases, all were focal COD. The majority of patients presented with symptoms when the lesion was smaller than 1.5 cm in size. Symptoms were observed when the apex of the tooth was included in the lesion or there was a local infection around the lesion. The history of tooth extraction and previous endodontic treatment were evaluated, and history was not a significant predictor for the onset of symptoms. Conclusion: In this study, risk factors associated with symptomatic patients were size of lesion, apical involvement, and local infection.

Cemento-osseous dysplasias are a group of disorders known to originate from periodontal ligament tissue and involve, essentially, the same pathological process. They are usually classified into three main groups: periapical, florid, and focal cemental dysplasias depending on their extent and radiographic appearances. Radiographically, florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) appears as dense, lobulated masses, often symmetrically located in various regions of the jaws. The best management for the asymptomatic FCOD patient consists of regular recall examinations with prophylaxis. The management of the symptomatic patient is more difficult. A case of FCOD occurring in a 52-year-old edentulous Korean female is reported which is rare with regard to race and sex.
