Bone regeneration and dental implant surgeries in florid cemento-osseous dysplasia: A case report.

Cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is a benign fibro-osseous pathology in which fibrous connective tissues, osteoid and cementum-like materials, replace bone. Concerning the hypovascularization and increased mineralization of bone that occurs in these patients, the clinician may face two types of problems: infectious complications such as osteomyelitis and increased implant failure. The present study aims to report the successful and innovative management of a COD patient complicated by mandibular osteomyelitis and the implant rehabilitation of this area.
