Abstract

Cemento-osseous dysplasia is a benign condition of the jaws that may arise from the fibroblasts of the periodontal ligaments. Cemento-osseous dysplasias are further classified into three main groups: periapical (surrounds the apical region of teeth), focal (single lesion) and florid (sclerotic symmetrical masses) cemental dysplasias. The etiology of the condition is unknown, although it has been suggested to occur as a result of mild chronic trauma or traumatogenic occlusion. Cemento-osseous lesions are asymptomatic and no treatment is required. In this article, we discuss these different types of cementoosseous lesions in light of four presented cases.
