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.

This is case report of florid osseous dysplasia occurred in the entire maxilla and mandible of 47-year-old female. Florid osseous dysplasia is an expansile, exuberant asymptomatic form of benign fibro-osseous disease of the periodontal ligament, often associated with jaw cysts and to be though as an abnormal reaction of bone to irritation or stimulation. The treatment was performed with removal of the necrotic bone, bone curretage and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The patient did not well postoperatively and has shown sign of persistant infection with pus discharge.

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.

This is a case report of a florid osseous dysplasia occurred in the left posterior region of the mandible in a 60-year-old female. Florid osseous sysplasia is a distinct clincial pathologic entity representing an exuberant variant of osseous dysplasia, defined by Robinson to be a abnormal reaction of bone to irritation or stimulation. The treatment was performed with partial mandibulectomy and immediate reconstruction with metal plate and iliac bone graft. The patient did well postoperatively and has shown no sign of recurrence or complication during the 6 month postoperative period.

Three cases of florid osseous dysplasia of the jaw were investigated. Radiographs showed sclerotic. globular and ground glass opacities throughout the jaws. Two cases were asymptomatic but one case failed to heal following extraction of the mandibular molar and infection complicated the disease. These cases appear to represent the most exuberant manifestations of this reactive benign fibro-osseous lesion of the jaws.

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 dysplasia (COD) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of bone, in which normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue, followed by calcification with osseous and cementum-like tissue. COD is classified into 3 categories according to its location: periapical, focal, and florid COD (FCOD). On radiography, FCOD appears radiolucent in its early stages. As it matures, radiopacities appear within the lesion, causing them to show a mixed appearance of radiolucency and radiopacity. Because FCOD is usually asymptomatic and grows in a self-limited manner, it does not require treatment. Secondary infection is the most frequent cause of symptomatic cases. We report a case of FCOD with symptoms that appeared after a dental restoration procedure and persisted after repeated operations. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the importance of thorough radiological evaluations of patients with FCOD before treatment.

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fi bro-osseous lesion wherein normal bone is replaced with an excessive proliferation of cellular fibrous connective tissue intermixed with irregular bony trabeculae. Fibro-osseous lesions like fibrous dysplasia are often associated with non-epithelial cysts, such as simple bone cyst. The etiologic and pathogenic relationships between fi brous dysplasia and simple bone cyst have not been conclusively established. Nonetheless, the mechanism of cyst formation in fibro-osseous lesion associated with simple bone cyst can be said to differ from that of the typical simple bone cyst of the jaws. This article reports a case of bilateral lesions including fi brous dysplasia and simple bone cyst on each site and reviews the pathogenesis of cyst formation in the fibro-osseous lesion.

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.

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%.
