Fibro Osseous Diseases of the Craniofacial Skeleton

What do you do when radiographs mislead, histology overlaps, and the lesion mimics both tumor and dysplasia?In the complex landscape of maxillofacial pathology, few conditions challenge diagnostic certainty and surgical planning like fibro-osseous lesions of the jaw.This comprehensive text demystifies this enigmatic group of disorders where normal bone is progressively replaced by fibrous connective tissue interspersed with mineralized deposits. Merging foundational science with practical insights, the book explores the etiology, clinical behavior, radiographic signatures, histopathology, and treatment strategies of:Fibrous DysplasiaCemento-Osseous Dysplasias (periapical, focal, florid)Ossifying Fibromas, including juvenile aggressive variantsOther rare fibro-osseous conditions.
