Abstract

Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FCOD) is a condition that characteristically affects the jaws of middle-aged black women. Cemento-osseous dysplasia also has been classified to periapical, focal, florid and familial cemento-osseous dysplasia. Radiographically, FCOD appears as well defined radiopaque, symmetrical mass lobules, located in the apical part of the teeth with encapsulated margin. Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a clinical application of ionizing radiation. CBCT is widely used in dental and maxillofacial imaging. This technology has been used for diagnosis and treatment planning for both adult and pediatric patients in orthodontics. It is advantageous being reconstructed in three dimensions, image quality, a 1: 1 ratio that allowed reliable dimensions, the possibility for craniofacial imagining, and lower radiation doses compared to traditional CT.CBCT is beneficial in diagnosis of this lesion with perfect evaluation of the effect on the surrounding structures. This paper presents two cases of black female patients who were radiographically diagnosed with FCOD
