Cemento-osseous dysplasia

Cemento-osseous dysplasia

Cemento-osseous dysplasia is a benign condition of the jaws that may arise from the fibroblasts of the periodontal ligaments. It is most common in African-American females. The three types are periapical cemental dysplasia (common in blacks), focal cemento-osseous dysplasia (caucasians), and florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (blacks).
