  • Title: Dental management of fibrous dysplasia.
    Author: Stephenson PA.
    Journal: N Z Dent J; 1993 Apr; 89(395):54-8. PubMed ID: 7898800.
    Abstract:
    This report describes two patients with monostotic fibrous dysplasia affecting maxillary alveolar processes. The long-term care for patient ML between ages 6 and 28 years included the transplantation of a premolar and a third molar tooth into the affected area, but the transplanted tooth 14 had to be extracted 6 years later. The patient JW, who presented at age 5 with an asymptomatic swelling in the left deciduous molar and first permanent molar region, was followed for 15 years. Teeth 24, 25, and 26 were developmentally absent. The roots of the deciduous teeth of both patients resorbed normally, and were replaced by tissue with the same radiographic appearance as fibrous dysplasia.
