  Introduction: Fibrous dysplasia appears in a clinically and radiologically variable way. Radiographic diagnostic is an important factor for final diagnosis especially as this rare lesion is often observed accidently in dental radiographic examinations. Therefore, the present case report demonstrates deviating clinical and radiological manifestations of monostotic and polyostotic forms of fibrous dysplasia (FD) in the facial area and its impact on dental and surgical therapy. Presentation of case: In the first patient, showing a monostotic form a hard, non-compressive swelling in the lower incisor area was detectable and radiographic investigation showed a “ground glass”-like radiopacity in the lower mandible. A surgical reduction of the process and a biopsy were indicated due to progression of the lesion and the development of ae.. View More»
