Abstract
- Cemento-Osseous dysplasia is a benign condition of the jaw known to orginate from the periodontal ligament or medullary bone. Its treatment can be categorized according to clinical symptom. If there is no pain or other discomfort, a regular recall examination and having patients maintain proper oral hygeine are the best management. However, if clinical symptoms do exist, proper treatments such as resectioning of the mandible or mandibulectomy are needed. This clinical report describes a rare symptomatic case of cemento-osseous dysplasia which was treated with a conservative surgical method. Using this method, we obtained satisfactory results without additional grafts.
