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, focal cemento-osseous dysplasia, and florid cemento-osseous dysplasia.
