Mandibular Cemento-Osseous Dysplasia: A Report of Three Cases in Indian Women With Emphasis on Diagnostic Challenges.

Cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of the jaw bones that usually affects females and is often seen incidentally on radiographic examination. Its varied clinical and radiographic presentation resembles odontogenic cysts and other fibro-osseous lesions, making diagnosis challenging. This paper highlights three cases of cemento-osseous dysplasia, each with distinct clinical manifestations. These cases demonstrate the varied presentations of cemento-osseous dysplasia, underscoring the need for combined clinical, radiological, and histopathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis.
