Abstract:
This article describes the computed tomographic and conventional radiographic findings for florid cemento-osseous dysplasia. A low-density thin layer or cystlike area was observed around the high-density masses in the tooth-bearing area in the seven cases studied. Expansion of the buccal and lingual cortical plates was observed in association with cystlike areas, but was infrequently observed in florid cemento-osseous dysplasia not having such areas. The computed tomographic number of the high-density masses ranged from 772 to 1587 Hounsfield Units and was equivalent to that of cementum or cortical bone.
