title: Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia.
abstract: Cemento-osseous dysplasia is probably the most common fibro-osseous lesion encountered in clinical practice. It is thought to be a reactive phenomenon that arises from elements within the periodontal ligament. Here we present a case of 37-year-old female patient, who reported for a regular dental check-up. Incidentally, mixed radiopaque-radiolucent lesions were found bilaterally in the radiograph. Based on the clinical examination and radiographic evaluation, we arrived at a diagnosis of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia.
