Abstract
Periapical cemento-osseous dysplasia (PCOD) is an uncommon benign entity, usually asymptomatic, wherein the normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue, with metaplasic bone and neo-formed cement. The present case report describes a case of a 17-year-old female who was diagnosed with PCOD on the basis of cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) findings. CBCT enabled detailed visualization of the bone changes. This report described the special radiographic characteristics of PCOD, including discontinuity of the lingual cortex, minimal amount of root resorption irt 32. Flecks of radiopacities interspersed diffusely within the lesion on the CBCT sectional and three-dimensional images.
