Abstract:
Focal cemento osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is a subgroup of benign fibro osseous lesions, which occur in a single site of tooth-bearing areas of jaws. It is usually asymptomatic and noticed accidentally through routine radiological exams. There is often no need for treatment of such lesions. This case was a 28-year-old male patient with a mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion in posterior part of his mandible. Based on radiographic examination, cemento ossifying fibroma (COF) was the first differential diagnosis. After the surgical removal of the lesion, histopathologic evaluation was made and the case was diagnosed as FCOD. Fortunately, after a few months of operation, there was no complication and complete bone formation was occurred.

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
