Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FLCOD) is a rare pathological entity whose classification is not yet completely defined although its non-neoplastic clinical and histologic behaviour is very clear. FLCOD is a self-limiting lesion scarcely delimited from the surrounding healthy tissue and whose surgical treatment therefore is not elective, unless inflammatory signs are present. A case of a white woman with both mandibular and maxillary involvement is presented; she was referred to us for partial impaction of her lower 3(rd) molars. Standard radiographic and CT images are examined and the patient management is discussed.

Abstract
Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia (FLCOD) is a rare pathological entity whose classification is not yet completely defined although its non-neoplastic clinical and histologic behaviour is very clear. FLCOD is a self-limiting lesion scarcely delimited from the surrounding healthy tissue and whose surgical treatment therefore is not elective, unless inflammatory signs are present. A case of a white woman with both mandibular and maxillary involvement is presented; she was referred to us for partial impaction of her lower 3(rd) molars. Standard radiographic and CT images are examined and the patient management is discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
