Abstract

Cemento-osseous dysplasia is the most common form of benign fibro-osseous lesions. Focal cemento-osseous dysplasia is usually seen in females in the fourth to fifth decade of life located in the mandibular posterior region. Based on the stage of the lesion, it can appear radiolucent, mixed, or radiopaque on a radiograph. In order to efficiently manage the case, it is important to rule out other similar lesions and choose an appropriate treatment plan. We are presenting a rare case of focal cemento-osseous dysplasia associated with an impacted mandibular canine. A thorough review of literature has revealed that no such case has been reported so far.
