  • Title: Florid cemento-osseous dysplasia and a dental abscess.
    Author: Glascoe A, Brown R, Goode M, Mongelos G.
    Journal: Dent Today; 2011 Nov; 30(11):102, 104-5; quiz 105, 96. PubMed ID: 22187807.
    Abstract:
    In most cases, FCOD is diagnosed by reviewing clinical and radiographic information and data. Multiple quadrants and a mixture of sclerotic radiopaque lesions with radiolucent borders facilitate radiographic interpretation. FCOD is a self-limiting condition that requires no further treatment once a diagnosis has been made. Prognosis is excellent. Follow-up is needed to assess for progression and any possible complications. This should include periodic radiographic evaluation. If endodontic therapy is required, it should not be initiated until a thorough clinical and radiographic evaluation has been completed.
