  • Title: [Mandibular fibrous dysplasia: a monostotic form].
    Author: Boisramé-Gastrin S, Zimmermann P, Blancard PS, Denhez F.
    Journal: Rev Stomatol Chir Maxillofac; 2008 Dec; 109(6):383-6. PubMed ID: 18951597.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: The onset of one or several diastema in adults with no link of etiology to tooth loss or to a periodontal problem can be the first evocative sign of an acromegaly or a benign or malignant tumoral process. OBSERVATION: A 40-year-old patient consulted for an implant to solve an esthetic problem caused by a diastema. The complementary exams revealed an osteolytic lesion marked by condensing areas. The biopsy proved the diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia. DISCUSSION: Etiologies of fibrous dysplasia are varied. They can be related to a congenital defect of osteo mesenchyma development or be the consequence of trauma, reaction to infection, or an endocrine or metabolic disorder.
