title: Fibrous dysplasia: a case report.
abstract: Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous disorder that often affects both the maxilla and mandible. The dentist, therefore, is often the first person to identify and diagnose the disease. This article focuses on the pathology, diagnosis, clinical course, and treatment of this complex problem. A case report demonstrates the multidisciplinary approach to the management of this disease entity.
