Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is a subtype of cemento-osseous dysplasia. It is a rare condition presenting in the jaw refers to a group of fibro-osseous (cemental) exuberant lesions with multi-quadrant involvement.
There may be an increased female predilection and tends to be most prevalent in the 4th to 5th decades of life.
It is considered a reactive, non-neoplastic process confined to tooth-bearing areas of the jaws.
Orthopantomogram / cone-beam CT
Radiographically, florid cemento-osseous dysplasia is characterized by multiple masses of mixed radiopaque structures. They may have a circumferential radiolucency, primarily surrounding the root apices of vital teeth, and over time with the maturation of the lesions, they tend to become increasingly radiopaque.
History and etymology
Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia was first described by Melrose et al. in 1976.
