Florid Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia with Multiple Impacted Supernumerary Teeth in Maxilla and Mandible – A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: Florid cement-osseous dysplasia is a benign, fibroosseous and multifocal dysplastic lesion of the jaw and consists of cellular fibrous connective tissue with bone and cementum-like tissue. Case report: This clinical report describes a nonfamilial case of Florid cemento osseous dysplasia (FCOD) accompanied by osteomyelitis in a 41-year old male patient. Orthopantomograph revealed multiple radiopaque cemetum-like masses distributed throughout the maxilla and mandible. There were multiple impacted supernumerary teeth present in both jaws. Blood investigation did not detect any abnormality in serum alkaline phosphatase level. Antibiotics were given for osteomyelitis. No impacted teeth were extracted as they were asymptomatic. After that, patient is followed up at regular intervals with reinforcement of good oral hygiene to prevent osteomyelitis. Conclusion: Clinicians should be aware of the radiographic manifestation of such conditions and knowledge to recognize and differentiate from other conditions similar to their appearance.
