Abstract:
Seventy-two cases of benign fibro-osseous lesions of the jaws were reassessed, and a modified classification is proposed that may be helpful in their understanding and management. The anatomical distribution of these cases is described and compared to previously reported cases. The histogenesis of each particular lesion is also discussed. Correlative analysis of histopathologic and oral radiographic features is essential for definitive diagnosis.
