Summary
Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is a common condition affecting the jawbone, often discovered incidentally during dental check-ups. This case highlights its bilateral presentation in a 37-year-old female patient.
Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Dental radiology
- Fibro-osseous lesions
Background:
- Cemento-osseous dysplasia is a frequent fibro-osseous lesion.
- It is considered a reactive process originating from periodontal ligament elements.
Observation:
- A 37-year-old female patient presented for a routine dental examination.
- Radiographs revealed incidental, bilateral mixed radiopaque-radiolucent lesions.
Findings:
- Clinical examination and radiographic evaluation led to a diagnosis of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia.
- The lesions presented bilaterally, a notable characteristic in this case.
Implications:
- This case underscores the importance of routine dental screenings for detecting fibro-osseous lesions.
- Understanding the radiographic appearance is crucial for accurate diagnosis of cemento-osseous dysplasia.
- Further research into the reactive mechanisms of these lesions may improve management strategies.
