One of the benign fibro-osseous lesions that frequently affect the jaws or edentulous alveolar processes is cemento-osseous dysplasia. Cemento-osseous dysplasia is primarily diagnosed based entirely on clinical and radiological features. Due to the risk of infection, biopsies,surgery, and tooth extraction are generally not advised. Failure to recognize cemento-osseous dysplasia may cause patients to undergo invasive and unneeded dental operations.
