Abstract

Cemento-osseous dysplasia is a reactive benign fibro-osseous lesion with the most commonly occurring type being Focal Cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD). It is categorized by the replacement of normal bone with fibrous tissue along with calcification resembling cementum-like structures. Most of the lesions were asymptomatic and no treatment was required. When the lesion is infected with any secondary local or systemic agent, it becomes symptomatic and intervention is required. Here, we report a case of asymptomatic FCOD of the mandible in a 29-year-old female patient. Histopathological evaluation of the biopsy specimen by decalcified sections aided in the final diagnosis of the case.
