Abstract

Introduction: Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia is a rare disease entity characterized by replacement of healthy bone and tissue with cemento-osseous tissue. Etiology and pathogenesis for the lesion is unknown and these lesions are considered as reactive lesion in the periapical areas of the teeth. Case Report: A 52-year-old female reported to Yogita Dental College and Hospital with the chief complaint of throbbing intermittent pain and swelling in the lower left posterior region of the jaw since six months. Conclusion: The lesions are benign in nature and rarely cause complication. Most of the time lesion is detected accidently on the routine radiographs. Treatment involves long-term follow-up of the case unless until lesion becomes symptomatic.
